Osaka, Kyoto, and Nagoya in this Nov 16

Hi, we are going to Osaka, Kyoto and Nagoya on 17 Nov'16 and stay for 9 days.

1st day arrive at Kansai International Airport at 8.25am and straight forward to Kyota by Hakura train (1 way) costing at 1600 yen. The last stop is at Saga Arashiyama, is it true? Can we drop in Kyoto Station, then ride ahead to Saga Arashiyama in the same day?

We will stay in Jyoiful Rokuhara 145 Takemuratyo, Rokuharamondouri, Higashiyama ku, 605-0845 Kyoto. How do we access to the above location from Kyoto station?

Day 2, planning to go around Western Kyoto; ie Kinkakuji, Ryoanki, Togeetsukyo, Daitokuji, Kitano and Nijo Castle. Can suggest to ride by Keitetsu bus or train, which is more cheaper and convenient?

Day 3, Northern Kyoto; ie Kifune Shrine, Kurama, Shimogamo, Sanzenin & Shisendo.

Day 4, Eastern & Central Kyoto. After this will ahead to Nagoya.

In Nogaya we are planning to stay 3 days 2 nights, please advise what is the interested places and stay. And can we cover Shirakawa-go too? How do we access?

Day 7, After Nagoya, plan to go to Osaka for 4 days 3 nights. One of the place we would like to go is Universal Studio, other than that haven decide yet. Please advise.

Gook luck!

MGollira, thanks for your reply and info. About the trip to Nagoya, we'd cancel and change mind to Kanazawa for 2 days and cover Shirawaka-go by taking Takayama Hokuriku Tourist pass for 5 days with the cost of 13,500 yen ( 21/11 - 25/11) and use another 3 days in Osaka area. Is it cover the area included USJ?

and the last day dd 26/11 we'll take Nankai train to Rinku Premium Outlet, spend the time for shopping till evening, then forward ahead to Kansai airport. Do you think this plan is good and right? pls advise.

I do not know "Takayama Hokuriku Tourist pass for 5 days".
But there is USJ in OSAKA,I guess that pass is not cover.
OSAKA is KANSAI area.not HOKURIKU area.

I think your plan is good,that sound loose time.
