Hi there,

I think your best option would be a combination of normal tickets (between Tokyo and Kyoto) plus a regional pass, the Kansai - Hiroshima Area Pass, and normal tickets again to Hakone.

Having said that, you already cover a lot of distance, and with a little more the 14 day JR Pass could be a good option.

Kind regards,
Daniel
