Hi there!
Let's have a look at ticket prices and see what would be the best option:
Tokyo - Osaka (on the way from Mt Fuji) ¥ 13,750
Osaka - Hiroshima ¥ 10,520
Hiroshima - Kyoto ¥ 10,790
Kyoto - Kanazawa ¥ 6,710
Kanazawa - Tokyo ¥ 12,710
Tokyo - Nikko (return)
This adds up to ¥ 65,340 the 14 day JR Pass is ¥ 45,100 saving you ¥ 20,240, which is well worth it. In addition you will just need one ticket for most of your travel, making getting around very easy and convenient.
I hope this helps!

Thank you so much!
I didn't realise there was a reservation fee involved in addition to the ticket price
