Hi, we're a family of four travelling to Japan in March/April 2015. Our itinerary is below but i'm struggling a little with Okunoshima. Where would you suggest to stay on the way back from okunoshima to tokyo? any suggestions greatly appreciate
4 nights Tokyo
start JR pass go tp Kyoto (3 days)visiting Nara (possibly go see snow monkeys)
Kyoto - Hiroshima (stay Hiroshima)
Hiroshima - Miyajima (stay Miyajima)
Hiroshima - Okonoshima
We have 1 day left to find accomodation before heading back to tokyo for 3 nights.
Where would you suggest that would be worth visiting and staying on the way back?

Half the country is located between Hiroshima and Tokyo. So, it really depends on your personal interests!

I personally would consider:

Onomichi:

Himeji whose castle will be reopened by late March (and very crowded because of that):
