Omiya will be a bit travel from Nagoya and Shinkansen is not necessarily cheap.  
You could try Nara or the gardens/temples in Kyoto. Alternatively go south to Hiroshima.

OHHHH the things I would do…  
Priorities…  
Bonsai, food, saki/beer, Japanese gardens.? Maybe a cheap Japanese ryokan (bed n breakfast) to sleep in.  
.  
Google maps … All of the above show up.  
Nishinomya Gardens is near Osaka.  
Koukaen Gardens is at Osaka.  
Several bonsai gardens. Even one with B n B.  
.

.  
I see 7 bonsai gardens near Nagoya. Nagoya Castle…  
.  
Drop a line to Mr. Neil for best suggestions?  
.  
I’m supreamly jealous.  
Need a sherpa? I’m cheap…? and can go any time…  
I have a passport and speak survival Japanese…
