Optimising the 7-Day JR West All Access Pass (21 Oct to 27 Oct)

Hi everyone! I (27 F) will be solo travelling from KIX, Osaka on 21 Oct 2025 and will be using the JR West All Access Pass upon landing to go to the following places below. I will be staying at Osaka from 27 Oct to 30 Oct untiI fly off from KIX and am planning to visit Osaka, Kyoto and Wakayama.

I am interested in museums and beaches! For Day 6, I am wondering if I should go straight to Amanohashidatea instead of stopping by Obama to enjoy the Amanohashidatea Beach.
