JR pass planning

Hello everyone
We are travelling in September and need some understanding to optimise JR pass.
Arrival and departure from Haneda. Total 22 days.
Tokyo- day 1 to 5 Nikko - day 6 and 7 Kyoto- day 8 to 13 Nagasaki- day 14 to 16 Hiroshima - day 17 to 19 Tokyo - day 20-22 Departure - day 22 evening.
Should we get 21 day JR pass and 1 way to the airport by Limousine bus?
Is JR pass valid from/to the airport?
Will we get much use of JR pass in Tokyo? - want to do a day trip to Mt.Fuji.
Cash: Is it cash everywhere like temple/shrines entries or is Suica money accepted?
Vegetarian restaurants recommendations ( no fish ) would be appreciated.
Thanks everyone!

You could potentially use a 14 day pass for this trip.
Nikko has its own return pass with Nikko specific features.
So starting your 14 days on day 8 when travelling to Kyoto. Fou could potentially save yourself a lot of money in Tokyo. With the last day of the pass usable on the 21st day.
Use subway all day passes or similar for day 1-5 and day 22.

Traveling outside of Tokyo is good use of the JR pass. I tried to use it whenever in Tokyo, but I mostly used the subway. You can get a 1000 yen subway pass for a day, but who knows if you will use that much. sometimes more, sometimes less. The best thing to get is a mobile wifi..................Super incredible lifesaver. google maps does a great job getting you to the location and shows you the fare. MOBILE WIFI get it use it. Internet wherever you go.

@Hakata14 has it right. It will be better & cheaper to get a 14 day JR Pass and activate it on the day you go to Kyoto.
