How in the hell do I get here from Osaka Kansai International Airport with a JR railpass?

I've tried researching online, but I really have no idea where the fuck I'm going. Dear Christ, maybe I shouldn't have planned my first overseas trip by myself -_-;

airport -> JR special express -> change at Tennouji -> get on the subway, Midosuji line -> get off at Shinsaibashi -> follow the map.

Doesn't the Monorail go in that area somewhere?

From KIX, go into the JR half of the station and take the Haruka (no, not that other HAY GUYS LETS DECOUPLE THE TRAIN HALFWAY bullshit that stops a lot more often)

On the Haruka, get off at Tennoji Station (????, 1st of the Haruka's stops on the Osaka Loop portion).

Now, you can get into Shinsaibashi via subway. But if you're a cheap bastard and don't want to pay, take the Yamatoji Line's Kukan Kaisoku (or Local, but not Yamatoji Kaisoku) into JR-Namba. From there, walk north to your destination.

Also, it took me a few days to realize that you should take the expresses (Haruka, Yamatoji Kaisoku, etc) when going around the Osaka loop. the Loop line itself is too slow in comparison. Especially if you need to access Shin-Osaka station.
