I was wondering if the Odakyu Limited Express Train (travelling between Shinjuku(JR) and Hakone-Yumoto station) is covered fully by the pass? "Shinjuku (JR)"?
Odakyu Electric Railway and East Japan Railway Company [JR-East] are not sharing tracks in Shinjuku.
You cannot travel by Odakyu lines from or to Shinjuku Station of JR.
A Hakone Freepass does not cover Limited Express surcharges.
You can make a combination of
a 2-day / 3-day Hakone Freepass (the version covering the Odakyu round-trip basic fares on Shinjuku -- Odawara; 5140 yen / 5640 yen)
and a pair of Romancecar "Hakone" round-trip tickets (Shinjuku -- Odawara or Hakone-Yumoto; 2 x 890 yen).
Romancecar trains take various routes; please make sure to choose Romancecar "Hakone" when you reserve your seat.
The Hakone Tozan Railway section Odawara -- Hakone-Yumoto is inside the free ride area.
(You can travel by bus instead between these two places.)
Romancecar seat reservation cannot be made separately for this section before the boarding date.
You can reserve in advance your seat for the whole route Shinjuku -- Odawara -- Hakone-Yumoto.
http://www.odakyu.jp/english/romancecar/howto/I was looking at the Hakone Free Pass, which apparently includes a round trip between Shinjuku station into Hakone. The 2-day / 3-day Hakone Freepass is offered in two versions:
a version to travel only within the free ride area beyond Odawara
(4000 yen / 4500 yen)
and a version which covers the Odakyu round-trip basic fares until Odawara
(5140 yen / 5640 yen: when you travel from Shinjuku).
https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2358_008.htmlThe gap in the prices between the two versions is less than the total amount of the Odakyu round-trip basic fares.
So, purchasing the latter version is better cost-wise than paying separately for the former version and for the round trip.
