Itinerary Help (Kyoto and Tokyo)

Hi! I'm really excited about my trip to Japan and I made an itinerary featuring what I hope to do when I'm there however I don't know if it's possible and was just looking for some feedback on it! One question that I have is whether I should stay one more day in Kyoto instead of Tokyo and do a day trip to Nara (or Osaka) or spend the extra day in Tokyo and travel to Nikko for a day? Also when traveling to Tokyo from Kyoto would it be possible to stop in Nagoya to see the Atsuta Shrine ( is it worth it?? ) and still accomplish what I have planned in the itinerary below?


A little background info:
-10 days in japan
-leaving september 25 and coming back on the 5 of october

Here I post a message so that this thread could catch an eye of a visitor who knows well.

It requires about 1 hour to get from Kyoto Station to your ryokan in Ohara. I recommend you would check timetables of buses when you reach Kyoto.

Personally I would not stop by Nagoya only for Atsuta Shrine, though I have not yet visited it.
If I were in your shoes and flew into Centrair near Nagoya, I would probably stay first in Nagoya and visit a few spots in and around the city, then tour Kyoto City on weekdays considering possible crowdedness in a weekend.

Arashiyama, Central Kyoto and Southeast Kyoto sounds too many not to mention going from one end of Kyoto to the other. You might want to move Central Kyoto together with 9/29 as Gion is in (more or less) central Kyoto. You might also want to move Asakusa to 10/4 as you're already in the general area. Google map those places so that you can see which areas are near one another.

I find that it's the US who has the best outlet shops.
