Using Suica / Pasmo in Osaka-Kyoto-Nara Area

I will have my trip to Tokyo-Osaka, spending the first 4 days in Tokyo, then the rest in Osaka (3 days), Kyoto (1 day), and Nara (1 day). I plan to use SUICA / PASMO for the local transport payment in Tokyo. Once I arrive in Osaka, can SUICA / PASMO be used in Osaka-Kyoto-Nara area? Or do I have to buy ICOCA for the local transport payment? Plus, any recommendation for specific pass for tourist in Osaka-Kyoto-Nara area for 5 days?
Thank you.

You may keep your SUICA or PASMO as a souvenir of your visit to Japan or use it on a future trip. You won't be able to return your IC card unless you return to the Tokyo area (or any JR East station).

Thank's for all the answers!
So, Can the SUICA's balance be re-charged at the ticket machines in Kansai Region (Osaka / Kyoto / Nara)?
and for one day trip in Kyoto area, is it better using one-day bus card only or one day bus & subway card? I plan for visiting arashiyama, fushimi inari, gion, and kiyomizu dera (if it's possible in one day).
Thank you

Yes, Suica/Pasmo can be recharged in Kansai. Just did that yesterday ;-)
I am no expert on subway/bus passes, so will leave that question to others to reply, but your list of places for 1 day seems too long to me.

So I just need to recharge the SUICA at any ticket machine in the station, thats it?
It's just my ideal plan for one day Kyoto trip (arashiyama, fushimi inari, gion, kiyomizu dera), flexible to real condition on the spot. So it's no problem if I can only go to max 3 spots in one day.

That's right! That is: at any ticket machine that allows for IC card recharging.

Taking into consideration of your visiting spots, I recommend to purchase one day bus pass which costs 600 yen per each since you won't take subway for this tour.

Just use your Suica and donft bother with bus passes. Kyoto Station to Saga-Arashiyama Station is \240 / 18 minutes on the JR Sagano line - getting there by bus will take forever.
Arashiyama and Fushimi Inari are in opposite directions - not ideal for the same day.
