Dear Daniel,
How can we travel from Kansai Airport to Shin Osaka before we activate our JR Pass? Is there an airport bus limousine? cost?
or better to take a taxi?

Dear Gardena,
The best option is to take the Haruka Express train, this is the fastest and most convenient option. You can also use the JR Airport rapid to Osaka station and there transfer to the a local train to Shin-Osaka, which is cheaper but a bit less comfortable. The cost is ¥ 3,050 for the Haruka Express and ¥ 1,360 using the JR Rapid/local trains.
I would avoid taxis for this route as it is a long route and would easily cost 10-20,000yen.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
