Guys. i am going to Kyoto & Osaka(few days each location) in End March. I had searched the train information from Kansai airport to Kyoto then from kyoto to Osaka and lastly back to Kansai airport.

According japan-guide.com, the recommendation is use JR Haruka express and there is option of Icoca prepaid card for tourist. Should i buy this card or buy the single trip train ticket for traveling in Kyoto & Osaka?

Icoca not only JR train. It can used on subway and private line.  Icoca card can used in whole Japan. Not just kansai area.
