I did a booking too - to Osaka - 4 nights in March. Despite my doubts the process as I went through it seemed to be saying that the Star Class flights were not cancellable, as per normal Jetsaver rules, but they would earn business class SCs and points. We'll see. 30 hours after making the booking I have the reservation number but still no confirmatory email from Jetstar

Still waiting for my confirmation though I only booked Sunday. They have at least raided the Amex.
Kyoto is certainly worth a visit but a day trip is ambitious though achievable. Train from KIX is around one hour 20 minutes and very frequent. Getting round Kyoto is the issue on a day trip. There are buses and two not very useful subway lines. I would hire a bike and do it that way! Even walking to the nearby sites would be okay .There is enough to see- the architecturally amazing station, Nijo Castle and Higashi and Nishi Honganji Temples would be my highlights on a quick visit.
I am not sure of you exact plans but i often spend time in Kobe and find the best way to and from the airport is via bus to and from Sannomiya Station approx 1hr 10 mins and costs ¥1,800 (or 1700 if you can get a discount ticket from the discount ticket shop just near where the bus leaves)
From Sannomiya you can get a taxi to Kobe (since i have luggage for under 2000yen) or via train from a small fee.

Popular daytrips from Osaka include Kyoto, Kobe, Nara and Himeji. Kyoto is "old" japan with some lovely temples and shrines. They even have "elevator girls" in the department stores. Kobe is a small city and one of my favourites - perhaps not so interesting from a touristy perspective but I love staying there. Nara has temples and deer - small and quaint place. Himeji has the big castle. Haven't been to Ako. Of course if you're into "theme parks" then you could stay in Osaka and visit Universal Studios. The better half conned me into going once and it wasn't that bad. And Osaka castle may be worth a visit too.
Food wise that region is synonymous with Udon (type of noodle) and okonomiyaki - one of Lindsay Wilson's favourite dishes.
