Access to Hakone

I would like to ask about one day trip from Tokyo to Hakone,I will go to Hakone myself by using jr national pass, with regarding to the Hakone Round Course,can I purchase the free pass at odawara station? then they will be someone to direct me to go around Hakone? The staff there able to speak in english?

After buying the ticket at Odawara there is a shuttle train to Hakone-Yumoto. There, just cross the platform and get on the Hakone-Tozan train. At the end, GORA, just follow the crowd a few steps to the cable car. At the end, change to the ropeway and at the end of that, at Lake Ashi, take the boat across the lake. There, take the bus back to Hakone-Yumoto or Odawara. The station signs all along the way have English so you will have no trouble.
Here's most of the trip in photos. Click "Slideshow", upper right.

If you want a real adventure, take the bus to YUGAWARA, an old hot spring resort. The ride down the mountain to the ocean is very scenic. Get the front seat if possible. From YUGAWARA you can take the JR train back to Odawara or all the way back to Tokyo.
I've done it a dozen times. If you want more details, click my name and send a private message.
