We're going to Hakone later this week (Friday) and we've bought our JRPasses. I know that we can take the shinkansen to Odawara and then take the Hakone Tozan line to Hakone-Yumoto, but if we wanted to take the romance car, will our JRPasses cover it?

Anna,
The Japan Rail Pass covers only JR lines, so you cannot use it on the Hakone Tozan Railway or the Odakyu Railway (including Romance Car trains).

hahaha! there's nothing terribly 'romantic' about the "Romance Car".....it's a noisy, rattly train that just happens to go through some spectacular scenery!

Romantic,

I wonder whether you are talking about the same trains, as, in my experience, the Odakyu "Romance Car" trains are pleasantly comfortable trains that go through rather unremarkable scenery. The Hakone Tozan trains are certainly rattly trains that go through spectacular scenery, but they are not referred to as "Romance Cars".
