The itinerary you have chosen sounds good,but just be aware that the only way to travel from Shirakawa to Takayama is to go through Tokyo and Nagoya, which is a rather long journey (almost 6 hours). Perhaps it might be better to start at Nagoya instead of going to Matsumoto first. Then when travelling to Osaka go from Takayama station.
As for the rail pass, it would be advisable to get the national 14 day Japan Rail Pass to cover you for all your journeys. If you have children aged 6-11 they will benefit from a discount, and any children 5 and under will travel for free.
We hope you have a great journey!
Best regards,
