Hi

The JR West Rail Pass would not cover your journey to Takayama.

The cost of a one way journey from KIX to Takayama (NOT using the Nozomi) is 13570JPY and the journey from Takayama to Kyoto (again, NOT using Nozomi) is 10260, so the total for those journeys would be 23830 . The current cost of a normal JR Pass is 29110 so if you plan to make any other rail journeys in the Kansai area, it may pay off, otherwise individual tickets will be best.

Note that there is no train service between Takayama and Shirakawago. You have to use the highway bus for this journey.

How is your current day-by-day itinerary?
What would you visit in Kyoto, Osaka, Kobe and Nara?

Kanai Airport [KIX] is not served by Shinkansen, neither is Takayama City.
The Shinkansen section Shin-Osaka -- Kyoto -- Nagoya and the non-Shinkansen section Nagoya -- Takayama are operated by JR-Central, not by JR-West.
You cannot use any JR-West pass on these sections between Shin-Osaka or Kyoto and Takayama.
