Recommendations for accessible nature around Kyoto or Tokyo

We’re flying into KIX, out of NRT, thinking of spending \~4 days based in Kyoto or Osaka, and 2 or 3 days in Tokyo – leaving 4 or 5 days to explore somewhere else. I was originally planning on going Kyoto -> Kanazawa -> Takayama -> Komikochi -> Nagano -> Tokyo and exploring the mountain area.

Now also considering maybe heading to the inland sea area instead (maybe Onomichi) – or open to other suggestions.
Will have a 2 year old and a 7 year old so we can’t really do serious hiking or bike riding.. but hoping to explore some interesting natural areas. Where would you take your kids if you wanted to get a bit off the beaten track but not hike for hours in the wilderness?

This will be in mid July if that makes a difference! Suggestions appreciated!
