When you get to KIX, then you'll just ride JR's express "Haruka" going
to
Shin-Osaka and Kyoto directly. The express just takes 75 minutes to
Kyoto.

That's wonderful if you are going to kita Osaka or downtown Kyoto. But
not if you are going to Sakai,

Well, if you go to Sakai from KIX. Take a bus to Itami airport, from there a
plane to Narita,
then take the taxi to Tokyo, the Shinkansen to Kyoto and from there the
Haruka direction....KIX.
