I am travelling for 4 days in Kansai. Can I use the pass to do the following journeys: Kansai Airport to Oji (back and forth) Oji to Nara Oji to Kyoto Oji to Osaka Travel within Kyoto (bus, subway etc) I know JR is not included, but is there a big difference in travel time if we use the trains allowed with the Kansai Pass. Time a bit important since we are only here for 3 days proper.

You can reach all mentioned destination by Kansai Through Pass ( = non JR transport ). For Nara not JR Nara station but Kintetsu Nara station. For Osaka and Kyoto several non-JR stations, too. Not valid on inner-city Kyoto City Bus. Travel times no problem, KIX - Oji might be slightly slower and one more transfer then by expensive JR Haruka KIX - Kyoto ( - Oji ).
