I am travelling from KIX to Tokoname in October. I know I can get JR as far as Nagoya, where I have to change to a local line.
Is the JR West pass my most effective option?

A JR pass will not be worthwhile, if this is the onhy train travel you are planning to do. The JR can't be used on the Meitetsu(Nagoya Railroad), which is one of the many Japanese private railway companies.
I would suggest the regular point-to-point fare will be a lot less money than going for a pass.
JR-West Rail Pass won't let you go beyond Yamashina.

You could purchase a separate ticket from Kyoto to Tokoname in addition to your JR-West rail pass, but unless you plan to go different places, it would be cheaper to purchase a round trip ticket from KIX to Tokoname at the train station near KIX.
Thanks for that, I am not returning directly though, I arrive on the 19th of oct and stay in Tokoname until the aftenoon of the 24th when i leave for Kyoto.
I return to KIX on 30th Oct.
Does that make any difference?

Same answer as before....
You will be overwhelmed by the number of temples and shrines and pagodas when you visit Kyoto. Remember to note down the temples you visited - when and time so that it coincides with the photos you took. I missed out on a few as I shot them on a whim or when I was merely passing by. Back home a week later, and I'm having trouble trying to fit which photo goes with which temple/shrine. Getting lost and discovering hidden places.
If you'll be using public transport in Japan I'd advise that you limit your bags to several pieces which you can carry and manage on your own. The trains can be crowded so having to lug around extra bags can be difficult. The taxis in Japan aren't capable of holding too many bags in their trunk so taking this into consideration before you travel may save you some hassle.
The Shinkansen is probably the most common way to travel to Kyoto. Travelling in Japan should include the Shinkansen at least once. You can easily reach from Kyoto any major city in Japan, e.g. Tokyo, Kobe, Osaka, Okayama or even Fukuoka. Trains are punctual, reliable, and clean.
Depending on your travel itinerary it might be sensible to buy a Japan Rail Pass. It is only for foreign tourists and must be bought outside the country. Note that you cannot use the Nozomi Super Express with the JR Pass.

Q: Any suggestion for the hotels in Kyoto Centre which less than 10 min walk to JR Kyoto station? "Hi there, I’d try online booking for Shimizu Ryokan near the JR Kyoto station for dates: 8, 9 & 10 Jun. But it's fully book...."
A: "I stayed at the RIHGA Royal Hotel Kyoto which is about a 10 min walk from the station (I walked directly form there) and was quite happy with commodities and price."
