Is this itinerary a bad idea?

We will be traveling to Japan from 18 – 26 December. We are coming from South Africa so it's a small fortune in funds and we want to see as much as possible…even if it's a bit intense. I would appreciate some input into our plans. We are also planning to get the JR Pass and use it to get to all the locations and get the local bus passes. It's the more affordable route after using online rail calculators to check the pricing – We will be using it for Days 3 to 9

Our accommodation is already booked.

We are arriving in the early morning on Day 1 in Tokyo from a stay over in Singapore.

Day 1 & 2 – Tokyo ( taking it slow and experiencing the city)

Day 3 – Day trip to Hakone from Tokyo ( planning on doing the Hakone Round Course)

Day 4 – Day trip to Nikko from Tokyo ( still needs some planning)

Day 5 & 6 – Kyoto ( taking it slow and experiencing the city)

Day 7 – Day trip to Osaka and or Nara from Kyoto

Day 8 – Day Trip to Hiroshima from Kyoto (Miyajima and Hiroshima)

Day 9 – Tokyo

Day 10 – Tokyo and flights back in the evening.

Thanks for your input.
