Challenging Jet Lag

Hello People!

I would like to ask your opinion about itinerary and jr pass, so:

Planned “classic”trip: Tokyo Hiroshima Osaka/Kyoto + some in the middle, like nara, koyasan, himeji or similar..to be decided. Surely don’t want to fulfill my 17 days with stuff and then not having the time to appreciate or live it properly.

Anyway here’s the topic:

1. landing in Tokyo Narita at 2pm after a long flight from italy. Would it be too much moving immediately to hiroshima and begin our itinerary from there? Surely it would be exhausting as hell but that would hypothetically condensate all the big transfers at the beginning + virtually saving a half wasted day in the journey back to tokyo.

Flight is 17hours via Beijing, shinkansen from narita to hiroshima is 5h40..too crazy or doable?

2. Since i read many posts here talking about Jr convenience (or not), for the same reason i’m consequently thinking to take a Jr for one week (NRT>hiroshima>osaka>Tokyo)..still worth in this case?

Thank you in advice!

EDIT: again thank you for your answers! Since the flight to tokyo is already booked i’ll try to find a cheap flight to Hiro or slightly change the schedule. This helped me a lot!
