Use public transport with a bike in Japan

Use public transport with a bike in Japan - Modern bicycles parked on street covered with snow on winter day in city district

I'm planning a cycling trip in Japan. I will need to make three connecting travels using public transports with my bike :

  • From Kansai airport (near Osaka) to Kyoto, and from Kyoto to the airport (my bike will already be in a bag for the plane trip)
  • From Kyoto to Onomichi
  • From Tokyo to Kyoto (or Osaka airport)

I'd prefer not booking (it'll depend of my progress on my bike, so the dates aren't reliable).

What are the (cheap) public transports available with bikes (I guess train and bus)? Are there some rules to follow (always booking, using a protection bag...)?
