Hiroshima & Miyajima is a well trod path - with good reason. Very worthwhile overnight trip.
I think you could fly from Hiroshima to Narita on your last day and reach NRT in time for the Air Canada flight. Other suggestions would be to spend the time in Takayama, Kanazawa, up a mountain with a hot spring. In those cases, I'd squeeze that time into the itin. before Kyoto. This should allow for a not-too-long train ride from Kyoto back to NRT on the final day.
