If you are visiting Amanohashidate from Kyoto or Osaka as a day trip,
PLEASE make sure you are going to arrive at Amanohashidate in the morning or at latest in noon. Especially if you are plan to walk through Amanohashidate itself (pine tree forest).
And I don't recommend you to try visiting both Amanohashidate&Ine by a day trip from Kyoto or Osaka, that is tooooooooo rush. Due to sunset is earlier and closing time of everything is earlier in winter.
Sunset is around 16:45-17:00. Many shops or restaurants start closing around 15:00-16:00.
ALTHOUGH, I really love view of sunset from Kasamatsu park in autumn, romantic and calm down atmosphere. Of course, the day view is must see thing(bridge to heaven) in here so if you are staying overnight in Tango region, I highly recommend to visit Kasamatsu park twice, once for a day and another for before sunset. If you are visiting for the sunset, make sure wear warm clothes. The last cable car to go down from Kasamatsu park is at 17:00(in November) which means the park close by 17:00, don't miss it!

ONI(Japanese demon) festival

http://blog-imgs-61.fc2.com/y/s/g/ysgardening/ooe4b.jpg
Time: 10:00-15:00
Access: The festival held at two different area.
Main area is located around Oe station(大江駅). To get to sub area, take a bus from Oe station about 30mins and get off at "Oe-yama-no-ie(大江山の家)". Bus fare(single)=200JPY/person.
What I recommend the most about this is not the event itself(well of course you can visit the event if you are interested), this day is the easiest to get to the area where you can enjoy autumn leaves in Mt.Oe. From the sub area of the festival, about 10mins walk and you can visit the suspension bridge which in the picture above(look for the sign, Futasegawa-keiryu, 二瀬川渓流). Around the bridge, there is an easy trekking route which takes about 1hr.
**In the mountain, there are many wild animals are living so I don't recommend you travel alone and please tell your accommodation staff where you are going and please say hello to everyone who you meet at there(this is unspoken rule in mountain in Japan, to avoid nobody knows about where you gone, in case of emergency).
If you are visiting not on this day, you can see autumn leaves usually around end of October to end of November. Please get off the bus at Onigachaya(鬼ヶ茶屋) and walk about 5mins for the suspension bridge. Also turn on radio loudly to avoid meeting bear.
