Hello Marcela,

I think a 14 day JR Pass would be the best fit for your itinerary when used from Oct 21st to Nov 3rd. This would allow you to travel to all the cities you plan to visit and make nice savings at the same time. You would need to buy one extra tickets to/from Koya-san and within Hakone but this is relatively little compared to the rest.

For your daughter: I would buy normal tickets here. The trip is just 1 day too long for a 7 day JR Pass to be effective and does not have enough travel (cost) for a 14 day JR Pass to work.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
