I like your suggested schedule, however I'm not sure if 1 week JR pass will do it. 2 week pass is 200cad$ more expensive, and I won't be able to afford it. I'm trying to keep my budget minimum as I'll be flying from Tokyo to Seoul to travel Korea.

Ok, so limit your stay in Kyoto to 1 night and visit just 2/3 temple shrine. Kiyomizu is a must. Then the night life you can get from Osaka. Get your 1 week pass and start it, then go to hiroshima, by the end of the 7th day, make sure you are in Tokyo already and you are done really....
Something like this
Day 1 - Travel to Hiroshima
Day 2 - Day trip to Miyajima
Day 3 - Switch base to Osaka, Aquarium
Day 4 - Kobe, Dotonbori,
Day 5 - Kyoto
Day 6 - Nara
Day 7 - Tokyo
Day 8 - Day trip to Yokohama
Day 9 - Day trip to Hakone and go see Fuji
Day 10 -13 - Tokyo
