As it stands, no passes would benefit you. A Kyoto city bus pass might help if you travel more extensively.
If you decide to take a train from Tokyo to Kyoto and then back, a 7 Day JR Pass would help you save some cash. Considering the time it takes to get to the airport, queue for the plane, etc... It might be better to forgo your Spring Airline.

Thanks so much for the insight. I will consider about the Kyoto City bus pass. If I take a Shinkansens for the following trips will the JR pass be worth it?
Tokyo to Kyoto Kyoto to Osaka osaka to Hiroshima
Also should split up my stay between Kyoto and Osaka? Or is it advisable to stay in Osaka and go around Kyoto?

You could manage 'Sensoji, Akihabara, Meiji Jingu, Shibuya, Odaiba' in a day, but you'd have to sprint.
Without rushing:
Senso-ji and Akihabara are half-days that you could squeeze down to 2hrs or so each. Given your hotel location, you can start early with Senso-ji. The SkyTree is nearby, so you could combine the two, but expect an hour+ queue for a day ticket.
Harajuku, Meiji shrine and Shibuya can be clumped together for a half-day. You might want to add in a bit of eating, travelling and shopping time.
Odaiba is an entire island full of theme parks in Tokyo bay. At least half a day, or a day with kids.
You might find it easier to visit Nara from Kyoto than from Osaka. Public transport in Kyoto is not like other Japanese cities in that things don't connect seamlessly, but there is a good route to Nara from Kyoto station.
