Regardless of the types of the ticket, you pay
1030 yen per way for the ticket,
500 yen as a deposit on the ICOCA Card
and 1500 yen which is to be stored as e-money on the ICOCA Card
when you purchase an ICOCA & Haruka package.
A one-way ICOCA & Haruka package includes a one-way ticket which can be valid for one calendar day and is to be used for traveling by JR-West from Kansai-airport Station.
A roundtrip ICOCA & Haruka package includes two portions of a roundtrip ticket which can be valid for 14 consecutive calendar days; one portion is to be used for traveling by JR-West from Kansai-airport Station and the other portion is for traveling back.
Note
: When you travel with a ticket in an ICOCA & Haruka package, you cannot use a seat which is to be reserved in a "Haruka" train.
: Every "Haruka" train is equipped with seats which are not to be reserved.

http://www.westjr.co.jp/global/en/travel-information/pass/icoca-haruka...You can recharge an ICOCA Card with e-money.
E-money stored on an ICOCA Card can be used for payment of both JR and non-JR basic fares (except JR basic fares concerning Shinkansen) on the wide railroad network in and around Osaka Prefecture.
You can use ICOCA e-money also for payment at shops and soft drink vending machines which accept ICOCA cards.
I need to travel from Kansai International airport to Kyoto (stay for 4 days) If you travel so on one calendar day, either a one-way or a roundtrip ICOCA & Haruka package will do. This package may be a good choice especially if you travel to a place near Kyoto Station of JR.
then go to Osaka city (near Nijo temple area) for another 4 days I wonder which area in Osaka City "Nijo temple area" refers to.
If you travel back to KIX [Kansai International Airport] from a place near either Namba Station, Shin-Imamiya Station or Tengachaya Station of Nankai,
a Kanku Tokuwari Rapi:t Ticket issued by Nankai may be a good choice.
When you travel with this discount ticket, you can use a seat in a "Rapi:t" train which you have reserved in advance.
