From Kyoto, take a Shinkansen to Hiroshima Station. Then transfer to a local line to continue wesbound, get off at Miyajima-guchi station. From there, walk to the ferry terminal (very close), there is no need to buy a ferry ticket (JR Pass is good on the ferry). Usually, there is a line to board the ferry. Once onboard, the ride is like 20 minutes to Miyajima.

How much time do you reckon you need for Miyajima? 2 hrs, or all day.

Definitely, in my opinion. The crowds are gone at night, and the great Torii is lit up. It's worthwhile to see it with the tide both in and out, and while you can obviously do that without staying the night, it's easier if you do. And finally it can give you an early start the next morning, again before the crowds descend.
Only downside is that it can be a bit pricey to stay on the island, as most lodgings are upscale ryokans.
