KIX-Kyoto-Kanazawa-Osaka-KIX - best pass

I am making a 7 days trip in end Jan to Kyoto/Kanazawa/Osaka. Arriving and departure from KIX. What's would be the mist cost effective rail pass to travel between the above 3 destination. JR West does not seems to have a pass to cover all 3 cities. JR 7 day pass does not seems to be of good value.
What is the most cost effective combination of rail pass/ single trip ticket that covers the above trip?
thanks a million in advance for advices

Have you seen the new pass on this website's font page?

Unfortunately that pass doesn't start until March. In the meantime there doesn't seem to be a good pass for your needs.

Oh yes, I missed the part about "end Jan". The article also says a Kansai Wide pass plus a Hokuriku pass amount to about the same.

I think the closes one for you is Takayama-Hokuriku Area 5 days Pass http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2361_takayama_hokuriku.html

If you delay the pass a few days and have a few days first in Osaka before going to Kyoto and Kanazawa, this would probably work.

But if your planning to stay more in Kyoto and Kanazawa then single tickets are better.

Hope this helps!

Have Fun!!

Thanks for all the advises shared.
I figure the best choices for my trip is
1) KIX- Kyoto - using ICOCA and Haruka pass
2) Kyoto-Kanazawa-Kaga Onsen-Osaka - Takayama – Hokuriku Area Tourist Pass
3) Osaka (Namba - KIX) - Kanku Tokuwari Rapi:t Ticket

Are my choices correct?
