Hi Will,

Nice trip you are planning!

I think it could be worth getting a 7-Day JR-Pass if you can plan your long distance travel in the period of use. To make sure, I made a little list of ticket prices so see if a JR-Pass would be a good option.
Osaka -> Nozawa Onsen ¥ 12,000
Nozawa Onsen --> Takayama ¥ 9,650
Takayama --> Osaka ¥ 10,310

For a total of ¥ 31,960 the 7-Day JRPass is ¥ 28.300 Yen saving you at least ¥ 3,660. If you used it from the 17th thru 23rd you could use it for all of the above trip + have one extra day of use.

For the rest, local travel in Kansai is not very expansive so a JR-Pass is usually not a very economic option for that.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
