Samurai,

Thanks for your advice. So far, I understand that Kobe does not seem to be exciting place to visit. As I will be going to Himeji, so just think of going there on the way.

My trip to Osaka will be :

Day 1 - Arrive from Tokyo to Osaka. Visit Osaka Castle and the Aquarium.
Day 2 - Visit Universal Studio
Day 3 - Nara and Kyoto
Day 4 - Himiji Castle and Kobe
Day 5 - Home sweet home. (11 am flight)

Let me know if I can improve my itinary. Thanks !
