How to get the most out of my Kansai Wide Area Excursion pass (3 days) (excluding Kyoto, Osaka, Nara)

Currently I am staying in Kyoto as a student, since I am not here on a tourist visa, my rail pass choices are quite limited, I am only aware of the 10k yen Kansai pass for 3 days. Now my question is how can I make the most out of this pass in 3 days?

Since I am staying in Kyoto, I have already had the chance to visit Osaka and Nara park. So I am looking for less know places in the Kansai region. I would prefer moving around instead of staying in a single central location.

As for my intrests, I really like hiking, historical sites/museums and onsens. I will be traveling alone.

So, anyone who can recommend me a 3 day itinerary for the Kansai area so that I can get the most out of my 10 000 yen pass. The trip can also be longer than 3 days if my return to Kyoto won’t cost me more than 2000 yen.
