If you have luggage and there are several people traveling together it may be more practical to take a taxi.

Hi, is there a limit to how many luggage they can take or accommodate in a day? I''m referring to availability or storage capacity. Thanks.
There is no set limit. The arrangements are made to provide extra capacity during busy holiday travel periods.

You can use an ICOCA card on all the services you mentioned, except Limited Express.
Limited Express requires additional seat reservation charge. All other services have non-reserved seats.
QuoteTraveling from Osaka Namba Station, a Rapid Express train on the Kintetsu Nara Line will get you to Kintetsu Nara Station in 39 minutes for 560 yen.
Limited Express services also run between Osaka Namba Station and Kintetsu Nara Station and take just 34 minutes, but they cost considerably more at 1,070 yen.

We wish to do the reverse (Kyoto to Hakata), is it possible to book one through ticket, or will we need to make 2 separate bookings? How long should I leave between arriving at Shin-Osaka and departing from there for Hakata? Thanks
There are some Nozomi shinkansen services that go from Kyoto to Hakata. Please note that Nozomi is not covered by the Japan Rail Pass.
If you do not plan to use the Japan Rail Pass you can take Nozomi all the way to Hakata without any transfers.
If you do plan to use the Japan Rail Pass you will need to take Hikari from Kyoto to Shin-Osaka and then transfer to Sakura to continue to Hakata.
Transfers can be made in 10 minutes, but we'd recommend 20 to 30 minutes transfer time if you are not familiar with the station layout.
Visit Hyperdia for the train schedules on your travel date and time to find the direct Nozomi services.

You will need separate tickets for Hanshin and JR lines. You can also use an IC card, like ICOCA or Suica, to make transfers easier. Just tap the card at the transfer point, no need to buy separate tickets.

Online reservations from Hakata to Kyoto are not available. You can make reservations at any JR ticket office after your arrival in Japan. Trains on this route run frequently and tickets are usually available on the day of travel. We recommend making reservations a day or two in advance.

Hi Terry,
There are only two platforms at KIX JR station. One is usually used for Haruka Express and the other for JR Kansai Airport Rapid Service.
It is really easy to navigate. Check the platform displays for the next JR Kansai Airport Rapid Service.
The platform looks like this:
All the Airport Rapid Services go to Kyobashi station.
