Without knowing your interests, I recommend:

Tokyo - Hiroshima (and surroundings) - Kyoto (and surroundings) - Tokyo (and surroundings) for a 3-day Japan Bus Pass (8000 yen).

I have been to Kyoto 40 times. And I am already looking forward to visit a 41st time in a month from now. But if you have enough of Kyoto, you could see other cities around the Kansai Region on the same itinerary. Maybe select Osaka instead of Kyoto as your base.

Autumn colors are a seasonal highlight of November:

The average person will be unable to enjoy the above itinerary. Way too fast paced. Way too tiring. But some exceptional people, who love riding overnight buses and a fast pace of travel, might be able to enjoy it.

It is a very good itinerary to get most out of a 5-day pass, though.
