JR pass worth it?

I am traveling to Japan for 11 days and will be traveling outside of Tokyo for 5 days. I want to know if a 7 day JR pass would be worth it for this trip. I have heard that the JR pass cannot be used to go to Hakone, is this true? If so, then would it be worth it to just be using the JR pass from Tokyo to Osaka, Osaka to Naoshima, and then back to Tokyo? Also, can the JR pass be used for a day trip to Kamakura?
My itinerary would be:
22-25 - Tokyo 25 - Day trip to Kamakura from Tokyo 26 - Tokyo to Hakone, spend one night there 27 - Hakone to Osaka 28 - Day trip to Kyoto/Nara 29 - Osaka to Naoshima 30 - Naoshima to Tokyo

Use the 7-day pass to get to Odawara and then the other rail company (non-JR) to and around the Hakone area. Odakyu is the company that runs Odawara to Hakone-Yumoto and they are not JR.
The 7-day pass makes sense for your schedule.
You can get JR trains to Kamakura.

JR pass will get you to odawara which is the base of Hakone area. Then you can get a hakone free pass to cover travels around hakone area.
Yes to all other questions.
