Hi . I will be travelling to Japan over December.
My itinerary is as per below:

Tokyo 27th Dec- 02 Jan
Osaka 02 Jan- 4th Jan
Kyoto 5th Jan -7th Jan
Tokyo/Narita 08th Jan

Which JR pass would you recommend? and also does the JR Pass cover the line to Mount Fuji?

Thanks,

Hi, thank you very much for your question.

For your itinerary I recommend you 7 days national pass and you will activate it when you go to Osaka. 7 days pass is worthwhile if you will do one round trip from Tokyo to Kyoto.

Japan Rail Pass also covered the line to Mount Fuji, but you have to change to private line.
Please check this article : http://www.japan-rail-pass.com/japan-by-rail/itineraries/mount-fuji

If you are going to Mount Fuji from Tokyo when you are staying in Tokyo, you can't use japan rail pass as I recommend you... But there is a lot of way to go to Mount Fuji from Tokyo.

For exemple the cheapest way is by bus: http://highway-buses.jp/fuji/

Have a good trip!
