Hello there,

I would recommend activating the JR Pass on day 3 or on day 4 if you want to use it on day 10 in Tokyo, for a day trip or to travel to the Airport. The JR Pass will provide you with a good discount over normal ticket, especially travel to Hiroshima and Tokyo is expansive and the JR Pass will cover all of this.

For places to visit, I would recommend adding in a visit to Akihabara in Tokyo and Den Den town in Osaka. Both are centers of modern Japan.

For travel to Hakone, take the Shinkansen to Odawara station. This is the Shinkansen station for the area and local transport runs from there.

Hope this help,
Daniel
