I don’t know your exact dates but be aware that Hiroshima is hosting the G7 in May.
I would contact your AirBnBs ahead of time about luggage drop off. I think it is unlikely they will be OK with it, but it doesn’t hurt to ask. I would make sure to ask ahead of time because if any of your checkout dates are too close to when the G7 is, all station lockers are likely to be closed.
I don’t know why you are going to Sea on a week end. That is when the Japanese can easily go and that is who the park is the most popular with. I am sure USJ is going to be super crowded on a Saturday too.
