Deciding on JR Pass

My itinerary is Narita - Tsukuba - Tokyo (Shijuku / Shibuya) - Hakone - Narita.
I am struggling to decide if the JR pass is worth it. I see that the Tsukuba Express is private, so in and out of Tsukuba I will still be paying additional service fees. I also don't believe Hakone is covered by the JR?
Help please! Doing a lot of research but not getting definitive answers.

I wouldn't get a JR Pass, because it wouldn't pay off. For getting between Tokyo and Narita, I recommend taking the Keisei Skyliner between Nippori Station and Narita. From Nippori Station, you can connect to local lines such as the Yamanote Line to other parts of Tokyo (such as Shinjuku). More information can be found here. https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2027.html#section_get_thereFor getting between Tokyo and Hakone, I recommend taking the Odakyu Railway between Shinjuku and Hakone Yumoto stations. https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e5206.htmlAnd depending on what you are doing in Hakone and if it pays off. The Hakone Free Pass gives you a round trip on the Odakyu Railway between Shinjuku and Hakone, and also access to the Hakone Tozan buses, the ropeway, cable car, sightseeing boats and discounted admission to a few attractions. More information on the Hakone Free Pass can be found here. https://www.japan-guide.com/e/e2358_008.html
