Taking a train to CTS from KIX is not my idea of a good time unless you just like riding trains. It's a good 5+ hours on the bullet train to northern Honshu, and from there it's another long, long trip (through the world's longest tunnel...) to get to Sapporo.
It's like a 1.5 hour flight, and I bet it's cheaper to fly than to take the train...
