13-day Osaka/Kyoto Itinerary Check

Hello! My boyfriend and I are going to Osaka for our anniversary trip, and I wanted to know if the itinerary we planned is good, if there are any suggested places to visit/activities to do, or if we need to adjust and lessen some activities. We actually need help filling up some of the days, so if you guys have any suggestions please let me know!

We've been to Osaka before and don't plan to return to Osaka Castle and Shinsekai/Tsutenkaku. Dotonbori and Sennichimae we're not including as we'll probably pass by every now and then. We're also planning a lot of half-day trips!
