Options on getting to Kyoto from NRT

Good day to all.

I have a trip planned soon. I will be
arriving Narita on a Monday afternoon at 4:30PM. Planning on getting to Kyoto same day.

Question would be what will be the best option getting Kyoto?

From what I gather Immigration/Customs could take 1 hour is this right? I was thinking of the following options to get to Kyoto:

Options #1

Transfer via train to HND and take a flight to Osaka (ITM or KIX) and take a train to Kyot.

– Given landing will be on time and customs will be 1 hour would be it safe to book a flight leaving at 7pm or 8pm? This means i might arrive into Kyoto around 10pm?

Option #2

Take the Nex after customs and take a Nozomi at Shinagawa and get off at Kyoto? Will this be simpler? Probably will arrive 8pm?

Any input would be appreciated.
