The Yamato museum in Kure is a popular destination. It has a 1/10 scale model of the battleship Yamato. The Yamato was the largest battleship ever built and was built in and at times based in Kure during WWII.
Iwakuni has a historical bridge that is somewhat popular as well.
In October, Saijo is home to a large sake festival.
Matsuyama, on nearby Shikoku island is home to the oldest onsen in Japan.
Also, if you haven't visited shukkein garden in Hiroshima city it is a nice way to spend a couple hours in the afternoon. When I was there in April we even got to see part of a traditional Japanese wedding ceremony.
