Hi, sorry about the previous question. I look through the thread and saw question about Japan so I am in right forum.
Has anyone done a daytrip to Miyajima from Kyoto?
I read it is almost a 3 hours train trip from Kyoto with the JR pass one way. I know you go through Hiroshima then take the ferry. We wanted to see the tori gate. Doubt if we will be lucky to be walk to the Tori gate on a low tide. We wanted to take the ropeway too. It will be a long day. Thanks.

If you get no answers here, take a look at the Tripadvisor forums. I think I have read people's reports of doing what you propose. As you said, a long day.
When is your trip? JR passes are going up October 1, 2023. Not the good deal it used to be. https://www.japan-guide.com/news/japan-rail-pass-cost-increase.html
I was on a train platform in Kyoto last spring with an American couple headed to Hiroshima for the day. My day trip to Himeji was long enough for me, but everyone's tolerance is different. And, everyone's time and priorities! Enjoy your trip.
