You're going all the right cities, but you should think about where you go within each city you're visiting. Nara and Kyoto are definitely the top two for unique places. Things are straightforward when you visit Nara (stop by the tourist info desk and they'll give you a map of everything), but Kyoto has a good 2-3 days of stuff. How many days do you have?
2 days in Kyoto are probably better than splitting the days with a place like Kobe. Right in front of the station is a map with several dozen destinations you can reach by local bus. Kiyomizudera is a good choice since it's surrounded by lots of other sites.
Osaka's the biggest city by far in Kansai, do stop by downtown at Umeda for a little of everything.
