Hi Andrea and Anja,
In terms of ticketing and travel costs, my recommendation would be to buy normal train ticket as you travel, all the way until you reach Kyoto.
Then once you go to Hiroshima, use a Kansai Area Pass - Hiroshima for travel to Kyoto, Osaka, Hiroshima, Himeji. You can also use this to travel to Kansai Airport (KIX), assuming you return home from there.
This pass also includes the JR ferry to Miyajima.
I hope this helps!
Daniel
