Day-11 will be very tough, unless you stay in Hiroshima the night before.

Day 10: start with a visit to Himeji in the morning,travel ontoHiroshima, then stay the night in Hiroshima.
Whether you want to drop a city for another day in Kyoto or Tokyo is a matter of preference, but day 11 is just too many hours on trains.

It is possible to visit Miyajima and Hiroshima as a day trip if you start early and only focusing on a few hours on the island and the Peace Park and Museum only. If you have others you want to see then you will need more time.

Hope this helps!

Do Hiroshima and Miyajima as a daytrip together on one day, and half a day in Himeji on another day.
I would probably combine Nara and Osaka, or Himeji and Osaka for one day in order to spend more time in Kyoto.
