Check Osaka and KIX rail disruption/weather before leaving.
Mid-October is before the autumn colour. Kyoto's maples peak in late November, so expect green to first-turning leaves. Hakone runs a few weeks ahead of the cities because of elevation and is the one place you might catch early colour.

Booking action
Reserve only what protects the day.
Air Canada flight confirmed. Check in about 24 hours before and confirm the terminal on travel day. Baggage is two checked pieces at 23 kg each per traveller, so all four bags must come in under that.
Etiquette + practical
Keep tax-free goods and receipts accessible if required; follow airport instructions.
Passports, medication, batteries and reservation documents stay in carry-on; lithium power banks never in checked baggage.
Planner-sourced personal-use reference image. Subject verified for the day’s city/theme where identifiable; not venue advertising photography. Some frames were shot in peak autumn colour, which mid-October will not show.
