As suggested by the hotel's name, it is just in front of Kyoto Station. Here are your options for travel from Kansai Airport:

Is there any good food that you can recommend.

Traditional kaiseki dinner with matsutake mushrooms.

I thinking of spending my whole day sightseeing at Arashiyama.
-How to i get there from my hotel?


It is explained here under "hot to get there":

I will be at Nara.Im going to Nara park,todaiji temple,heijo palace and kofukuji.Is it ok with this planning?Can you suggest a better plan for me.

I trust that you do not visit the sights in that illogical order, but proceed as follows: Kofukuji - Todaiji - Heijo Palace (or the other way around).

i will go to kyoto palace follow by toei uzumasa eigamura.Am i able to complete this two places by noon.

Unlikely. Especially if you want to enter the palace, for which a tour with advance reservations is necessary.

How do i get to toei uzumasa?

i need to rush to hotel villa fontaine at shinsaibashito check-in.How do i get here from kyoto station?

By JR Kyoto Line and Midosuji Subway Line via Osaka/Umeda Station.

I thinking of going to osaka aquarium,tempozan marketplace,shin-umeda city.The problem is i do not know start from which place of interest.

The aquarium and marketplace are just next to each other. The order does not matter. I just recommend to look up opening hours:

Sorry for late response 2010/9/19 22:27
Something you might already know...

Your hotel is pretty convenient could walk.

Day 2,
I would like to recommend Sagano Romantic Rail, we call it Torocco rail, but anyway it's not operating on Wed, 29/Sep.
We love slow life so, we would take rail and take river rafting on the way back..
Just in case you want check the railway, written in Japanese but you can see the picture right?!

http://www.sagano-kanko.co.jp/information/index.html

That was like scenic railways about 25mins ride.

Or English PDF

Not operating on Wed!

About river rafting

http://www.hozugawakudari.jp/en

Approximate. 2hrs ride back.

I would take a walk and bamboo forests, look around shops.
There should be pretty of sites but
One of it, perhaps try "Maiko henshin " experience.
Japanese wear changing experience?! Bit costy,..
Stuff for kids, male, female.

http://www.kyotokyoto.jp/test/shop/se014/index.html

After that if you got budget could try "Rikisha" similar stuff in India. 
Originated from JP?!
We call "jinriki" human powered wheal ride?

Totally Japnese site but well...

Anyway if time allows I probably go to eigamura, movie village?!

Day 3,
Cute places too,
Wild native dear walk around too


Day 4, would pace down a bit, 
Don't know how old is kid but
Relax a bit, walk around a palace
Do a walk around Gion, kiyomizu,..
Do souvenir shopping?!

Well listen to others thanks..

Hav a good trip. :)

KIX to Kyoto 2010/9/21 23:46
You have got the best suggestions from Uji-san, as usual!

For your trip from KIX to Kyoto, I suggest you use MK Taxi. I have used it and found it to be very convenient.

Good luck.
