Sorry for the late respond , Omotenashi and Thank you for your valuable and helpful feedback. I like your questions, at least it makes me think...
My friend and I discussed and found that there is nothing really interesting for us in Tokyo(concrete jungle),so we plan to overnight there a night or two. We haven't decide where to stay. Where do you suggest? As Hirayu Onsen doesn't our route, we omit it. We're thinking of Hankone or Kawaguchiko Below is our plan , any comments or suggestions are welcome. 7.11.18 (Tues, Kyota): Reach Osaka early morning. Take JR Haruka express train to Kyoto (80min direct). Visit Kiyomizu-dera Temple and Gion in the evening. 28.11.18 (Wed, Kyoto): Cycling around Arashiyama Bamboo Forest (4 hours),Okochi-Sanso Villa,Golden Pavilion,.Stroll along Pontacho Alley. 29.11.18 (Thurs, Kyoto): Botanical Garden and Philosopherfs Walk.

We have few doubts: 1. Should we overnight in Kyoto for 3 nights and spend more time in other places 2. The 2nd day in Kanazawa, which places that we should not miss? 3. On 4 December, is there any scenic place to stay besides Matsumoto?We read Takayama is similiar to Kanazawa( please correct me if Ifm wrong) 4. Where to do outside Tokyo for overnight/day trip?
