7-8 days Okayama, Hiroshima, Amanohashidate

Hi all, a friend and I are planning a week-long trip during Golden Week. We’re flying into Okayama and flying out of Kansai. We’ve already visited Kansai before, so we’re thinking of checking out Hiroshima and Onomichi in the middle of the trip, and then Amanohashidate for something out of the way within Kansai, using a 5-day JR-West pass to tie the long transits.

Does our itinerary look feasible considering it’ll be Golden Week? Would you do anything differently? Any advice or suggestions about the specific places we’re planning to visit would be fantastic as well (we are foodies who like a little bit of outdoor activity like biking and hiking). Thanks in advance.
