Hi there,

1.) You can use the JR Pass from Osaka to Kanazawa station, from there express buses run to Shirakawago, however the bus is not included in the JR Pass (2,470/one way) [bus timetable].

2.) Yes, you can use the JR Pass to ride the Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka station to both Kyoto and Tokyo.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
