Is there a question in there?
It's not an itinerary I would adopt -- for my tastes, too much time in Osaka, too little in Kyoto, and either too much in Hiroshima or a poor split of time between Hiroshima and Miyajima -- but that's just me.
If you haven't already done so, I urge you to spend LOTS of time with japan-guide.com
EnjoY!

Well, not sure where to go with this. What exactly are "awesome experience" and "awesome food" supposed to be? Seeing some detailed art centuries old, or bungee jumping?
Is that the extent of your travel? If so, you might consider getting a JR Kansai Hiroshima Area Pass.

I'd also take a half day or full day off of Osaka to see Nara, which has a number of excellent places. If you want to put in 2 days for Hiroshima, you could see both the city, Miyajima, and maybe even Iwakuni. The city is most known for the A-Bomb Museum,a but there is much more, including its castle, Mazda Museum, Mitakidera Temple, Shukkeien Garden, and for food, Okonomiyaki-Mura, as some suggestions. See if they hold some appeal. Miyajima is a real jewel in that region though.

It also depends on when you're traveling. If in warm weather, in Kyoto you might look at the old Sagano Railway, and return on the rapids in the Hozugawa river boat. Or if you like hiking, there is Kibune and Kurama. In Osaka there is Minoo Park.
Osaka has more big city activities if that's your thing. Dotonbori has good food and a great atmosphere. Lots of great city views. One of Japan's best aquariums. Again, not sure what you're aiming for exactly, but it might be good for you.

These are just ideas - it's up to you to do your research.
