Looking for recommendations for tourist attractions. I would like to visit a private onsen during my trip for at least a few hours. I’m not very sure if I should visit Kyoto/Nara as most of the attractions are temples/shrines. which I’m not really interested..

I think it is more convenient for you to combine the Imperial Place and Akihabara in one day because those places are close and are easily accesible by the metro. Though, you can easily access Shinjuku from Tokyo Imperial palace.
