Hi, I need some help to plan for the transportation. I can't seem to find answer from hyperdia.

I m going to travel to Osaka by end of November and thinking to include Shirakawa-go & Takayama in my Itinerary.

May i know how to travel from either Osaka/Kyoto to Takayama and Shirakawa-go? how long will the transportation hour, the cost, and how should i plan for it?

Thank you very much! 
Apart from the above i would like to get some suggestion of accomodation. Our family group got 3 adults and 3 kids. For budget and comfort concern what is my best option?

Thank you again! 

Thats is your name in hiragana. For example in kanji, its 田中。　So kana is: たなか
