Is this a good choice or I should go somewhere else ? Thanks !
If you're going to Himeji, see the castle, not the temple. Kobe doesn't have much to see that's unique and exciting, IMO. Nara or Koyasan would be better day trips from Osaka than Kobe, though they are not in the same direction as Himeji. If you could fit Himeji in as a half day on another day, and then spend a whole day going to either Nara or Koyasan, that'd work better.
