That will depend on weather. Might have to move things around on your plan. E.g. you land at NGS and go to Nagasaki station and the weather is good then you might want to go to the mountain first
No, that is too far from Nagasaki. IDK about the other sites listed
.
- View Itsukushima Jinja late evening
If you are thinking of a particular time then you should check the tide table. And sunset time, too, I guess.
Shimabara Castle is about a 2 hour train ride from Nagasaki, that doesn't seem too far to me?

Have you considered overnighting in either Okayama or Himeji before reaching Osaka? That would save you from backtracking west.
I'm be going in May/June. I'm an experienced hiker so would rather make time to hike. I might hike up very early and take the 1st ropeway down.
That's a good idea. I'll skip Okayama castle and just go to Himeji castle and stay overnight at the APA.
I've prepared a more detailed Nagasaki itinerary.
