Day 3 : Explore Osaka (Yamazaki Distillery , Pokemon Cafe, Hozenji Yokocho)
Day 4 : Explore Osaka ( Kuromon Market, Teamlab botonical Garden)

Day 10 : Depart to KINOSAKI and Go Genbudo Park
Day 11 : Explore KINOSAKI ( Izushi castle town private tour
Day 12 : Return to Osaka
Day 13 : Return to Melbourne
Could you please let me know if the itinerary is optimise the route.
Based on the research , I should take Limited Express Super Hakuto to cover the route from Osaka - Tottori - Kinosaki.
I should take Limited Express Trains Hamakaze from Kinosaki to Osaka.
I am not sure if I should consider JR Pass ? It covers JR-operated trains, including limited express trains like Super Hakuto and Hamakaze right ? But Consider the duration of our stay and the cost of individual tickets if the JR Pass is worthwhile ?
and or individual tickets and with a ICOCA Card for local transportation within Osaka, Tottori, and Kinosaki ?
Thank you
