Shirakawago bus reservation

Hello. I want to purchase the three star route ticket that enables me to travel between kanazawa to shirakawago to takayama to hirayu onsen to matsumoto. Do i still have to reserve for the bus from kanazawa to shirakawago? Can i reserve it before i purchase ticket? Because the ticket can be purchased only if i have arrived in kanazawa because it is sold only in kanazawa bus station.

Do i have to reserve for:
Shirakawago to takayama
Takayama to hirayu
Hirayu to matsumoto

?

Is by phone is the only way to reserve the bus? Cant i reserve it somewhere like in tourist center office or jr station office in tokyo the days before i depart for kanazawa? Because i am confused where can i found telephone? My pocket wifi cannot be used to phone and i dont stay in hotel before i depart for kanazawa, i stay in airbnb
