13 days will be difficult to cover Kyushu. I would spend more time in Kyoto/Osaka and less time in Tokyo. For example, Akihbara and Shinjuku combined won't really last you a full day, unless you really start your day late and do a lot of shopping.
What are you interested in seeing? I notice that you make a brief stop in Kyoto first then back track again. I think, if I was given 13 days this is how i will do it
Day 1 - Travel to Hiroshima
Day 2 - Day trip to Miyajima
Day 3 - Switch base to Osaka, Aquarium
Day 4 - Kobe, Dotonbori,
Day 5 - Free day at Osaka
Day 6 - Kyoto
Day 7 - Kyoto
Day 8 - Nara
Day 9 - Atami or Hakone for Onsen
Day 10 - Yokohama
Day 11-13 - Tokyo area
