Itinerary for Kyoto with Kids

We are a family of four, with a 3 & 5 year old, and wefre traveling to Kyoto for a week at the end of this month.

Could you please take a look at tentative itinerary and see if notice any obvious flaws or have any advice or helpful hints to share?

Since wefre traveling with a kids and we donft want to over schedule them (not to mention one of them still naps), wefve tried to as much as possible limit our activities each day.

**My boys really want to ride the Shinkansen. Can you suggest a good way that we can do this to or from Osaka? It looked up times on hyperdia.com, but taking the bulletin train doesnft really seem to save us any time overall versus the regular trains.

I like it itineray. With very young kids, it is good to have a few half days. You can always add more if time and energy permits.

I see nowhere that you can really ride the shinkansen. Or have time to add a return trip on shinkansen just for fun. Probably just ride it between Kyoto and Shin-Osaka.
