When is your plane scheduled to arrive to Kansai Airport [KIX]?
Which airport will you fly out from?

How to go to ANA Crowne Plaza hotel in Osaka from Kansai airport?

Kansai-airport
--[JR-West: Rapid train bound for Kyobashi: about 80min.]--
Kyobashi (of JR-West)
--transfer: about 10 to 15 min.--
Kyobashi (of Keihan): Track 3 or 4
--[Keihan Nakanoshima Line: Local: within 10 min., 150 yen per adult]--
Oebashi: Exit 5
--walk--
ANA Crowne Plaza Osaka.
(The "o" in "Kyobashi" / "O" in "Oebashih / "O" in "Osakah is pronounced long.)

Except during very late and early hours, you can purchase a one-way ICOCA & Haruka package at a JR ticket counter in Kansai-airport Station (open 5:30 -23:00).
With a ticket in this package, you can either take a Rapid train to Kyobashi or take a Ltd. Express Haruka to Tennoji (though not reserving your seat), change trains there and get to Kyobashi.
An ICOCA Card in this package can be valid on Keihan lines.

At the JR ticket counter in KIX, you can also purchase the pass mentioned below and try reserving your Shinkansen seat.
(You need to choose Shinkansen stations in Tokyo Metropolis between Shinagawa and Tokyo. The station building of Shinagawa is much simpler.)

Transfer in Kyobashi
: Arriving to Track 4, going down from around the north end of the platform, exiting JR through North Gate, entering Keihan through Central Gate, going up two escalators (for Tracks 3 and 4).

Walk from Oebashi Station to ANA Crowne Plaza Osaka
http://www.keihan.co.jp/traffic/station/stationinfo/pdf/282.pdf
: Getting out via Exit 5, tuning left at the first corner, crossing Oebashi Bridge, crossing the crosswalk, tuning left, proceeding for about 250 meters.

: At Track 3 of Kyobashi Station (of JR-West), you can catch a Kamo-bound train on you way to Iga Ueno, and an Osaka Loop Line train on your way to Kyoto.
: A one-way ride from Kyobashi Station to Osaka Station is for less than 10 minutes.
: In Osaka Station you can change to a Rapid / Special Rapid train departing at Track 7, 8 or 9.
: The JR fare for Kyobashi -- Osaka -- Kyoto is 800 yen per adult.

how to I move from Kyoto to Kinosaki -back to Kyoto

Ltd. Express Kinosaki 3 is scheduled to depart at 11:25 from Kyoto Station and to arrive at 13:49 to Kinosakionsen Station.
To reach Kinosaki earlier, you can take
Ltd. Express Hashidate 3 (dep. at 10:25) + Ltd. Express Konotori 5 (arr. at 12:50) or
Ltd. Express Hashidate 1 (dep. at 09:25) + Ltd. Express Konotori 3 (arr. at 11:52),
changing trains at the same platform (track to track) in Fukuchiyama Station located in the middle.

A JR West Kansai WIDE Area Pass is worth considering for your Kinosaki trip.
You cannot have a reseved seat with this pass, but I suppose Ltd. Express trains between Kyoto and Kinosakionsen do not easily packed in June.

In Kyoto, Ltd. Express trains for Fukuchiyama and Kinosakionsen use Tracks 30 and 31 near Central Ticket Gate around the north end [Karasuma end], while Shinkansen trains use tracks around the south end [Hachijo end]. From Central Gate, you can get to Shinkansen Central Transfer Gate via a bridge walkway.
