We are traveling to different cities in Japan in a three week journey, starting from OSAKA-KANSAI to Hiroshima, then Okayama, Kurahiski, Takamatsu-Kagawa, Osaka, Kyoto, Kanazawa, Shirakawa-go, Tokyo and day trips out of Tokyo. When we budget costs of buying separate ticket prices is cheaper than acquiring the JR PASS. My only concern is: can we reserve seats even if we do not buy JR PASS? Thanks

Can I reserve a seat if I buy one way ticket and not the JR PASS?

Hi there,
Of course! You can purchase individual tickets and make seat reservations at any JR station in Japan. If you are staying in specific regions, I recommend checking out regional passes here.
I hope this helps!
Kind Regards,
Mariko
