Unfortunately, you'd still be a little short to make a 7 day pass pay off.
The japanican discount ticket looks like it would save you some money though.

Since you are already seeing Tokyo, you can largely skip Osaka during the day. After the temples of Kyoto close down around 5 PM, you can zip over to Osaka for the evening. At night the city comes alive and has some great places to see, such as Dotonbori, plus the night views from the Umeda Sky Bldg and Abeno Harukas Bldg are wonderful. Instead, I suggest you take that day and see Nara, which has some of Japan's best sights.

There are some good previews of the places you plan to see on:

In that event, you'd need the 7 day pass. But you couldn't get all the way to Fuji on the Japan Rail Pass. You can take the bullet train to Odawara, and then buy a Hakone Free Pass.

You could go on Hyperdia to figure out which destinations would be worth spending money on the 7 day JR Pass by going on Hyperdia.
Hyperdia is very convenient to calculate if a Japan Rail Pass is worth buying in your case and to know which length is most cost-effective for your travel.
Please visit hyperdia.com:
- In search conditions, write the departure and arrival location (day and time does not really matter)
- The search will provide you the fare for this travel (check "total price" under "take time")
- Do the same for all your trips by train.
- Just compare with the price of a Japan Rail Pass 7, 14 or 21 days by checking the price here : http://www.japan-rail-pass.com/jr-pass
You want to be sure you can access to the trains for free with a Japan Rail Pass :
- In “search details”, unclick “Nozomi, Mizuho, Hayabusa Shinkansen” and “private railway”.
- The search result will show you all the trains you can access with a Japan Rail Pass.
Hope this helps.
Best,
Japan Experience
