Hi there,

Your itinerary sounds great! To be honest, given how long you definitely have the option to visit more destinations.

Please note that Hakone is not directly accessible using the JR Pass, meaning you'd probably have to purchase separate rail tickets in combination with a JR Pass. Hakone is a beautiful destination but if you want your entire itinerary covered by the JR Pass you may want to consider including different locations. More destinations can be found below:

Hope this helps!
