Yes. Plus the round trip from Tokyo. As explained here:

I assume you refer to the Japan Rail Pass. You can use JR trains nationwide, as explained here:

You cannot use the JR rail pass within Hakone area. Use the rail pass to take JR to Odawara and buy 3900 yen Hakone Free Pass there. The Hakone Free Pass will cater for all kinds of transport within the Hakone area. After you have done the loop course, you can go back to Odawara and use the JR rail pass for your onward journey to other parts of Japan.

You can use your Japan Rail Pass to get to Hakone (as far as Odawara Station), but not to get around Hakone. More details are here:
