Hello, I am finding figuring out travel within Japan rather confusing, and don't know whether I should purchase a 7 day pass to use from March 14th - 20th (covering from Hakone - Kyoto - Osaka - Tokyo) or a 14 day pass (to also cover Airport - Tokyo (and travel around Tokyo for 6 days) - Hakone - from March 7th to 20th). Some help would be greatly appreciated! (As I also dont even know if JR lines travel to Hakone?)

I arrive on the 7th March in Tokyo then this is my itinerary:

March 7th - 12th: travel within Tokyo (around Ueno, Shinjuku, Harajuku etc)

March 13th: travel from Tokyo to Hakone

March 14th: Hakone - Kyoto

March 14th - 17th: (visit Tofuku-ji Temple, Arashiyama bamboo forest, Tenryu-ji Temple, Inara Shrine), day trip to Nara

March 17th: Kyoto - Osaka

March 17th - 19th: travel around Osaka and day trip to Hiroshima

March 19th: overnight train to Tokyo

March 23rd: leave back to New Zealand.

Thank you :)

You can take the train from JR Odawara station. In Hakone, You can use Hakone Free Pass to Odawara Station from Hakone area. Have a nice trip.
