In case you didn't know, trains don't serve Shirakawa-go. This means that your trip can't be entirely covered by the JR Pass.
Surely the best way to reach Kyoto that takes advantage of your rail pass would be via Kanazawa.
Take the Nohi or Hokutetsu bus to Kanazawa and then transfer to a JR Thunderbird bound for Osaka. At Kanazawa you could also reserve a seat for Kyoto by going to the JR ticket office.
The Shirakawa-go buses have mandatory reservation.
Dear, I'm going to Japan in this coming November. I would like to know is it worthy to take JR pass for a 9- 10 days travel in Japan? Is there any other ways to save costs?
Here is my literary: Day 1: Osaka Kansai airport Day 2: Osaka Day 3: Tokushima Iya Kazurabashi Day 4: Tokushima Iya Kazurabashi Day 5: Kyoto Day 6: Kyoto Day 7: Kyoto Day 8: Nara Day 9: Osaka Day 10: Osaka Kansai airport
This is my first time to Japan, and i have no ideas where to start.

You simply do not travel enough to make a JR Pass pay off.
