We are planning to visit Japan in April, and this our first visit to Japan. we are family of four (2 adults and 2 kids [9 and 6 years])
Our aim is to see Cherry blossomOverall it looks nice to me.
11 April: Arrive at Narita 5:05pm. then we catch train from Narita to Kyoto
Usually it is best if you take the Narita Express to Shinagawa Station and then transfer to an Hikari Shinkansen for Kyoto. Note that you won't arrive into Kyoto until quite late (probably 11pm). You may prefer to spend the first night in Tokyo.
12 April: Kyoto we are plan to visit
- Philosopher's path for Cherry Blossom
- Kiyomizudera Temple
- Gion
Seems fine. Maybe pick some other spots from here also:-

16 April: Catch a train from Hakone to Tokyo
before we catch the train we are thinking to visit lake Ashi to see Mt Fuji.
I'd probably do the Hakone Round Course with the Hakone Free Pass

During our visit in Japan we are planning to use 7 days JR pass
Sounds fine.
should we get Hakone pass if we have JR pass?
Yes if you wish to do the round course.
and last question what is the recommended hotel in Kyoto (convenience location [close to train station, shopping, supermarket and food :P])
You don't mention price. It is peak time in Kyoto so some of them may have minimum night restrictions and they may not be cheap.
Two common options are Granvia Kyoto and Hotel Hokke Club Kyoto.
Book soon if you can.
If you can't find anything in your budget for those dates (you stay a Friday night) then you can consider staying in Osaka and visiting Kyoto as an easy day trip. If you stay near JR Osaka Station then the trains are covered by the JR Pass and take around 30 minutes each way.
Enjoy your trip!
