JR Pass 2012/10/15 20:43
I will be traveling in Japan via 7 days JR pass. Can I have an advice regarding the JR pass:-
1) Can i purchase the pass at Kansai Airport when I reach airport. Can I pay by credit card.
2) From Website, I understand the pass is valid for any JR including Shinkansen, Limited Express, Express rapid & local. But if the desination that I intend to go require me to take Limited express train, does I need to pass extra even I already purchase the 7 days Pass
3)Any suggestion for Onsen between Maibara to Nagoya station.
Thank you.

I assume you refer to the nationwide Japan Rail Pass as opposed to the various regional JR passes that are available.

Can i purchase the pass at Kansai Airport when I reach airport.

No. The pass has to be purchased outside of Japan. Read the basics here:

No, as long as all the trains along the way are covered by the pass, you do not have to pay anything extra.

3)Any suggestion for Onsen between Maibara to Nagoya station.

I am unaware of any good onsen in that area. But I found the onsen at the Nagashima Spa Land the best "human made" onsen in all of Japan. It is not quite along the way though. A separate small side trip from Nagoya:
