Hi
We will have a JR rail pass (staying in Kyoto) can we use this to go to Koyasan? Is it worth going here just for a day trip?
Thanks

No, part of the journey is by non-JR trains:

I think that the overnight stay at the temple is the main attraction of a trip to Koyasan. If you don't want or cannot overnight, then I think it is not worth the effort of accessing Koyasan in a day trip unless you have a high interest in Kukai and/or the mountain. There are easier, equally interesting daytrips from Kyoto.
