One-day day trip from Osaka to Mt. Koya

I know people recommend an overnight stay, but schedule prevents it. I have 3 days in Osaka, Nov. 3-5, and the 5th is already booked for something else. 3rd is travel day from Tokyo. My plan is to purchase the KiiPass for Nov. 4 if weather looks good. Fall back is Nov. 6 where I use takkubin to move my bags to Kyoto while at Mt. Koyo.

I seems I ought to be able to leave early from Shin-Imamiya, visit the cemetery and major temples, and return to Osaka before too late.

Any flaws in my planning? Suggestions will be appreciated.

  1. No, it’s an easy day trip from Osaka. If you leave early you will have plenty of time to explore.
