Trying to find best routes and tickets

Hello, a friend and I will be going to Japan soon, and I am trying to figure out what pass/route/ticket combo would be best. We are starting in Tokyo, then wanting to travel to Hiroshima (for 2 days), then onto Kyoto (3 days) then Osaka (3 days) then back to Tokyo... I feel like the 14 day JR pass is expensive when the rest of the time in each city we will most likely be using local trains or subways... Please help.
