I'm not sure why you must do ITM-TPE because there's no direct flight between these two airports, KIX is not that hard to reach from Osaka downtown. A simple nonstop KIX-TPE may remove a lot of issues and uncertainties.
Thanks for the reply.
The main reason why all the segments must be booked in those specific order is because my family and I want to go on tours in those countries. The tours start on set dates so we must enter one tour then exit the country to another tour that will start the next day. This way we don't have to waste vacation days hanging around waiting for next tour to begin. So just trying to maximize the days we have as our vacation days are limited.

Also, is it better to depart Japan from KIX rather than Osaka( itm) to next destination TPE, as the Japan tour starts from Toyko (Nrt) but tour ends and departs from Osaka (assuming it's from item airport).
Thanks again.
