Seeing a lot doesn't necessarily mean having to ride on trains a lot. You can easily fill a day in Kyoto and Nara and never need to ride the train within the cities (just getting there). You'll just need comfortable shoes. You can see several things in a day in Tokyo, and only spend 10 dollars on the trains, if you plan correctly. If you spend a couple nights in Osaka, Kyoto and Nara are less than an hour away, and I think less than 15 dollars one way. Kobe is only about 5 dollars away.
I don't know how much the one week pass is, but the only major expense in Polar's plan is the bullet train from Tokyo to Osaka, which is about 150 dollars.
