(I like Hiroshima and the only reason am suggesting a day trip is because you are wasting a hotel room night in Kyoto).
I reccommend attending Miyako Odori in Kyoto.
We weren't sure how long to spend in Hiroshima, so we booked the hilton (for less than 14000JPY so not a big extra cost) and thought 2 days to be on the safe side and not rushing around, we will have a look at the logistics of doing it in a day trip though!
