Hi Leonard,
The route which you plan to travel already is very good. What you could consider changing is visiting Osaka first before making a visit to Hiroshima. Travel from Nikko - Hiroshima takes 443 Minutes (7+ Hours) which may be a bit too much travel on a single day. Then again you could do it all on one way and have most of your travel out of the way.
The JR Pass will cover all of your travel, I would recommend to start using it on Dec 23rd - this way you can cover all your pricey travel and even use to JR Pass to return to Narita Airport.
I think that you may also find out article on how to plan with Hyperdia useful for your planning.
Bon Voyage!
Daniel
