Kansai WIDE Area Pass is valid for unlimited travel in the valid area on the map:

For me, the only downside is the rail pass is valid for consecutive 5 days but my itinerary span 1 week period - not able to utilise it for return to Kansai International Airport.

More details here: JR-West

woah the map covers just within the reach of Kii Katsuura..that's good to know. But yeah 5 days is kinda short, but I was actually planning to use it on the last 5 days of my 10 days trip, which the last 1-2 days at Kii Katsuura. So its definitely worth it, as the ticket price for one way trip from osaka to Kiikatsuura is RM250+!

are the tourist tax included in the airbnb accommodations when we book? or we have to pay it separately when we arrive at the accommodation?

Not really, some places like Arashiyama only just started.
I was at northern Higashiyama today and only Nanzenji/Eikando were nice.
The temperature today was 5 degrees colder so that'll help.
Few more days would be perfect.
