I didn't feel there was a whole lot to see between Hiroshima and Fukuoka. But if you're going all the way to Kyushu, IMO you should keep going to Nagasaki after looking around the Fukuoka area and having the famous raman there. Nagasaki is a great city with a ton of things to see. And maybe on the way back, take the ferry over to Shikoku and visit Matsuyama and see the beautiful countryside there, for some variety (rather than heading back the same way you came). That's what I did, and I really enjoyed it.
