I am going to Osaka soon and the weather is hot now.

Are there any mountain towns or villages nearby with cooler weather by 5 or 10 degrees or so?

I know about Mount Kongo already but I don't know much about it.

A short list of mountain towns or villages that fit the bill would be nice if anyone has this information.

I'm not sure what is "near" in your book, but any mountainous area will be cooler and less muggy than the coastal lowlands. Some tourist favorites are Mount Koya (高野山), a famous pilgrimage site for Shingon Buddhists which has a lot of temple accommodation and is 2-3 hours away from Osaka, and the hills/mountains above Kobe, which are full of hot springs like Arima Onsen (有馬温泉), the closest of which are only an hour and a bit away. 10 degrees cooler is going to be hard unless you go all the way to the Japan Alps around Gifu/Nagano though.
