No. Look at the regional passes instead.
BTW, Kansai is the prefecture. It is not a place. KIX is the airport.

Afraid I do not understand what you advice.Since you wrote in your first post ga JR passh, . (guest) might thinkt it should be gJapan Rail Passh. http://www.japanrailpass.net/en/about_jrp.htmlAs you see, the cheapest 7-day version is 29,110 yen which will not pay off for your itinerary which has no long-distance travel such as Osaka to Tokyo (and back). There are some regional passes such as Kansai Area pass issued by JR west. https://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/pass/kansai/However with your itinerary, even Kansai Area Pass might not pay off. I would buy Icoca and Haruka ticket. https://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/ticket/icoca-haruka/Day 1: from Kansai airport to Nara and to then to Kyoto/ Gojo Station.?Buy Icoca and Haruka for Nara, 3,400 yen. Go to Tennoji by Haruka limited express (non-reserved seat) and then transfer to JR-Yamatoji line to Nara. Your Haruka part of Icoca and Haruka will take you to Nara (JR). There are two ways to get to Nara, JR or Kintetsu. JR starts from Tennoji while Kintetsu departs from Namba. Kintetsu Nara station is somewhat closer to the main tourist destinations in Nara, however, JR Nara is more convenient to store your luggage, catch bus or taxi. Leave your luggage at JR Nara if it is rather heavy. Of course you can minimize your belongings and carry them with you. After Nara take Kintetsu or JR to Kyoto. If you take Kintetsu, some trains will take you directly (with no transfer) to Gojo metro station. Day 2: from Gojo station to Arashiyama Bamboo grove/ Togetsukyo Bridge, Nishiki Market then back to hotel stay near Gojo station.?You can add Kinkakuji on this day, after Arashiyama. Day 3: from Gojo station to Kyoto Tower, Fushimi-Inari Taisha Shrine, Gion then back to hotel stay near Gojo station?This day should be for Higashiyama district. There are Kiyomizudera, Kodaiji, Nanzenji etc in this region.
