Like so many others, I'm debating whether to buy a 7 or 14 day rail pass. Traveling in mid-April, I'll go first from Tokyo to Kyoto and back with some side trips out of Kyoto. That trip is worth the 7 day pass. At the end of my two week visit, I'll be traveling Tokyo-Hakone area and back. I can't decipher the schedules sufficiently to see if a 14 day pass would be worth it, And then there is the Hakone Free Pass, http://www.odakyu.jp/english/freepass/hakone_01.html, and I can't figure out if this replaces some of the Tokyo-Hakone transportation expenses.
Any advice is welcome.

Hi Nancy,
As you say, a return to Kyoto from Tokyo + side trips will cover a 7 day pass. To make a 14 day pass worthwhile over a 7 day + tickets you'll have to spend an extra ¥16,800 in tickets.
If the Tokyo<>Hakone trip is the only travel you plan to do in addition to Tokyo<>Kyoto, then the Hakone Free Pass return at ¥5000 from Shinjuku + 7 day Japan Rail Pass would be the best option. Do you intend on doing more travel than this?
