Is there any reason why Kinosaki appeals to you so much? It is a nice onsen, probably one of the best ones near Kansai. But it's not easy to get to, and doing Kobe-Kinosaki-Tokyo will make for a big detour. If you just want to do a nice onsen and you're not hung up on Kinosaki, there're other ones that are less out of the way... such as Yamashiro Onsen. If you do Yamashiro Onsen, you could even check out Kanazawa a bit en route to Tokyo.
