Thanks. I'm going to do luggage forwarding to Tokyo from Osaka (best travel feature ever next to in-city check-in at HKG), so will just have a small bag with me.

I will spend overnight in Okayama - do Aoshima/Inujima in one day. Not sure how long that will take me, but will make Himeji, Kurashika and Okayama Castle "optional".

I just booked two nights in Hakone at seemingly nice onsen (at least the price reflects that), but will play the second day by ear, as I do need to get to Hakone that day and will definitely have to time it to the Shinkansen schedule. Thank you everyone for your help... hopefully this all works out!
