11 Days.. what to do?

Hi everyone. I have been looking over some of the trip planning threads along with reading books.

I'm arriving into NRT on the 13th of March and departing the 24th from NRT.

A brief "idea" that I came up tonight with the help of some guides, posts and abmj-jr:

13-Mar (Thursday) Arrive Tokyo, take train to Kyoto
14- Mar (Friday) Kyoto
15-Mar (Saturday) Hiroshima + Miyajima Shrine Island
16-Mar (Sunday) Nara (daytrip from Kyoto)
17-Mar (Monday) Kyoto
18-Mar (Tuesday) Finish touring Kyoto. Train to Takayama
19-Mar (Wednesday) Takayama visit/enjoy Ryokan. Train to Tokyo
20-Mar (Thursday) Tokyo
21-Mar (Friday) Tokyo
22-Mar (Saturday) Tokyo/Hakone overnight?
23-Mar (Sunday) HAKONE Overnight Hakone or Tokyo
24-Mar (Monday) FLY HOME (14:55 DL 56 NRT-ATL. Arrive MSY- 18:12pm)

All in all, I've been all over the world and like to see interesting sights both new and old. Suggestions on some "can't miss" places would be great.

I've looked over the Sunrise Tours site and don't really like them as most I have found end at either KIX or in Tokyo. I figure that, if I am going to go to Kyoto I would likely want to go down to Hiroshima after.

Also, I could really care less about clubbing at night. Not as much my scene. I'd prefer to get up at 9am, hit the
town, get home at 7pm from sight seeing and have a cheap meal near the hotel.

Thanks!
