You can use the JR Pass for most of the route from Kawaguchiko to Hakodate and Sapporo. The initial bit from Kawaguchiko station to Otsuki station isn't covered by the JR Pass, but from Otsuki station onwards you will be able to use it. You should use Hyperdia http://www.hyperdia.com to plan your trip. A few things to keep in mind: 1) The trip will take about 9 hours from Kawaguchiko to Hakodate. Sapporo is another 3.5 hours by train from Hakodate. 2) There are no Shinkansen (bullet trains) on Hokkaido. 3) The JR Pass is valid for the Hayabusa Shinkansen to Shin-Aomori station in Aomori.

I am confused about the route to catch the train after Otsuki station. Do I need to get back to Tokyo to catch the train to Hokodate?
Please kindly advise.

Yes the JR Pass will cover the train from Hakodate to Furano.
Yes you must head back to Tokyo to catch the Shinkansen to Shin-Aomori station where you then change trains to get to Hakodate.
