With JR Pass take the hikari shinkansen from Kyoto to Himeji, then the hikari shinkansen to Okayama and a local JR train to Kurashiki. Back from Kurashiki to Okayama and from there by hikari shinkansen to Kyoto, maybe you will have to change trains once in either Himeji or ShinOsaka. You can see the shinkansen lines and a timetable under http://www.japanrail.com/JR_timetableandfare.html and for all trains ( local included ) under www.hyperdia.com

They have unreserved seats, therefore, a seat reservation is not necessary.

how often the jr line runs.

Direct hikari trains between Kyoto, Himeji and Okayama run once per hour. There are additional connections that require a transfer along the way.

You can look up the schedules here:
