My family is traveling from Tokyo to Kyoto, our return to the airport will be via Hakone. Doe the JR pass allow for travel options in and around Hakone?
Take the bullet train from Kyoto and get off at Mishima Stn., then to save money, buy a Hakone Free Pass. http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2358_008.html After seeing the area, return but go to Odawara Stn., then catch the next bullet train into Tokyo. The Hakone Loop Course http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5210.html is a common way to see the area.

The JR Pass is only partially helpful.
