West Kansai Rail Pass cover Airport Bus?

Hello,
I will be in Osaka for 5 nights, with planned day trips to Kyoto (twice), and Nara.
Will the West Kansai Pass be suitable to cover this?
Thanks!

Where is your hotel in Osaka?

The JR West Pass does not cover the Airport Bus but it does cover the Haruka Express Train from the airport to various stations in Osaka.

Your options from Kansai Airport are here:-

You can also look up train fares on hyperdia:-

I think individual tickets will probably be cheaper for your trip. Although you may wish to consider the Osaka Unlimited Pass (2000 yen) for one day if you visit a lot of the attractions that it covers in one day.

Kyoto and Nara are only roughly 500 yen each way from Osaka.

Enjoy your trip!

Thanks so much for your time.
I'll be at the Hilton Osaka, so I guess the Airport Bus will be the most convenient door to door.
Looking forward to visiting. Thanks to all those who answer these posts. Very useful!

Your way are direct JR Rapid train from KIX to JR Osaka station or direct Airport bus. Either way, ICOCA card is convenient when visiting Kyoto and Nara.

Can the ICOCA be used on the airport bus?

NO.

But bus fare is simple 1500yen and ticket can be bought from the bilingual counter at the arrival floor of Kansai Airport.

Accross the street from the Hilton you have Osaka railway station with direct (no change) train to Kansai Airport.
The journey takes about an hour
Make sure to board the section of the train going to Kansai Airport as it splits about two stations before the airport. But it is well indicated, so no worry.

Actually, the limobus is covered by ICOCA. You can also buy tickets from vending machines at the bus stop.

The train from the airport stops at Shin Osaka, which is not as close to the Hilton as Osaka station right? So my best option is to take the bus which stops directly at the hotel.
Thanks everyone.

I still think ICOCA can not be used the airport Limousine bus from/to Kansai Airport.

Ok thanks. Getting from the airport seems ok timewise. BUT Looking at the timetable TO the airport there is only one bus from the Hilton at 4pm ish?! I would expect them to be more regular! Maybe I shouldn't buy a return ticket then? My flight back is at 6pm.
