That sounds like an awesome trip, and quite the fast pace in Japan. Hit up any onsens?
I hear ya on nerding out on the trains. My next one I wanted to do a rail focused tour, but with the JR Pass price increase, that isn't sounding doable anymore :/ In the meantime, the JR station jingles as ringtones will suffice ha.
Did you get to the museum in Hiroshima and manage to make it through to the end without shedding a tear? I don't know of anyone who has been able to.
