Hello Danice-san,
1) How do I best use the JR pass to visit Hakone? Can I get to Hakone-Yumoto?
2) Is there an additional charge to ride a Shinkansen when using an ordinary rail pass?
Thank you!

Hi Mo McGee,
1.) You can use the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Odawara station, this is the Shinkansen station for Hakone. For there however, you'll need to use local transport not included in the JR Pass to access the area. A Hakone Free Pass can be a good deal for this.
2.) No addition fees are needed at all :)
Hope this helps,
Daniel
