It can be used from Kansai Airport Station on the Nankai Train after arriving at Kansai International Airport (The Express Rapi:t requires additional tariff)

on kansai thru pass can someone explain about this??
i have to pay extra?? how and where should i do it??

QUOTE
The Pass can be used on unconsecutive days during its period of validity (example: Mon, Wed and Fri in the case of a 3-day ticket)

so if im going for 5 day (wed-sun) the 3 days pass will be used on wed, fri nad sunday than 2 days pass will be used on thursday and saturday??

bro, u go kyoto from osaka via Shinkansen? you sure? (or you just wan to try out shinkansen becos during your visit you wont take it)
use kansai thru pass just to go nara? Your day 2 is packed. Ginkakuji is near to northern kyoto, higashiyama is east kyoto. These 2 places could probably taken up your whole day time. Nara is further away, which deserved a day tour.
For me, I take bus in kyoto (with combination of subway, if far).
*
my trip will be 5 days..
1st day osaka namba (arive around 8am)
2nd day go to kyoto by shikansen back to osaka by normal train
3rd day normal train to osaka - kyoto - nara
4th day osaka bay
5th day yodobashi camera (flight at 4:30 so after lunch have to go to kix)

maybe i could skip ginkakuji temple to spend more time at nara??

Bro,
Actually u should include Kinkakuji(Golden temple) in yrs second day, after
Karasyiyama, and have a tour/dinner  at the Pontocho dining area before
proceed to Gion for night view/ hunting.

For 3 rd day, u can skid the Ginkakuji (silver temple)  and have a look
on the Nishiki market.
*
tq for your reply..
i have read about the golden temple and i dont see the interest there..
most of the area is not accessible by tourist..
the only different that i see is only the gold covered temple..
and it is quite far..

if i travel using bus in kyoto how should i know place that i have to drop of??
is there any indicator in the bus??
