early thoughts on a trip (March 2018)

Hi,

Just got tickets for March so I will have a lot or research to do. Maybe someone here is nice enough to add her/hip opinion.

We arrive Friday at 9pm in Haneda 03/23
2 nights in Tokyo to recover (when we flew New York - Delhi last year we could do much the day after) and maybe just see some very local sights > ANA Intercontinental (one paid one free weekend night in a club level room)
afterwards .... not so interested in technology more in history, Buddhism, ...
and my wife wants to visit Okinawa as she was born there (US Army base).
03/25 Sunday Train to Kyoto for a few days
Train to Osaka for a couple of days
Flight Osaka - Okinawa
Okinawa - couple of days?
04/02 Flight Okinawa to Tokyo
one night in Tokyo as the Haneda to JFK return is at 10am Tuesday 04/03

Does the routing sound reasonable or should we go another way? Any stop on the way? Does a JP Rail pass make sense for the above? Any advice appreciated! Definitively will search a lot more but it is always good to have some ideas from experienced people (this makes it easier to search).

Thanks!
