Hello there,
The JR Pass can be used for travel on the Shinkansen from Kyoto - Odawara station. Odawara is the Shinkansen station for Hakone. From there other transport is required into the Hakone area, this includes getting closer to Fuji.
Consider purchasing a Hakone Free Pass as companion to the JR Pass.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
