First time itinerary in Spring

Hello everyone!
I will be traveling to Japan for the first time in the first weeks of April/2019 for approx. 14 days, and would really appreciate some help with the itinerary! :) I'm feeling very lost trying to figure out the railway system and the best way to get from one city to the other.
This is what I have at the moment: Day 1-4: Tokyo, with 1 day trip to Nikko Day 5: Matsumoto Day 6: Kanazawa Day 7: Shirakawa-go Day 8: Takayama Day 9-13: Kyoto, with 1 day trip to Nara Day 14: Back to Tokyo
Does this itinerary make sense? I could extend the trip to 16 days, as I still don't have the airplane tickets. I would also really like to include Hakone. And maybe Kamakura? Am I missing any unmissable places for a first trip to Japan? Any side trips from Tokyo or Kyoto which are really worthwhile? I don't really have much interest in going to Osaka or Hiroshima, though. And, finally, would it be a good idea to purchase a JR Pass? Maybe a 7 day pass which I would activate when leaving Tokyo?
Thank you so much in advance!

Thinking about it I would probably miss Matsumoto & replace it with a day trip from Tokyo to Kamakura. I would also probably buy the JR Pass for convenience.
