Takayama Hokuriku Pass

Hi ,

I have some questions here,

1) I want to travel from osaka to kanazawa. Using this pass, can i directly travel from osaka /shin-osaka to kanazawa or i need to go to kyoto first then take shinkansen to kanazawa?

2) From kanazawa to takayama, do i need to take the bus? If yes, do the bus ticket inclusive in the pass and how can i book?

3) From osaka to kanazawa can i ride shinkansen or other type of trains?

Thanks! :)
