Are there any mountain towns or villages near Osaka with cooler weather than Osaka itself (5-10 degrees C cooler)?

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.
