What type of subway card to get

Hi All,
So I have already decided to get a 2-week JR pass for my wife and me as we travel Japan for 3 weeks. Here are the list of cities we will be visiting:
Tokyo Takamatsu Tokushima Osaka Kyoto Hakone
My question is if there is some kind of pass for non-JR railways where I can just continue to add money for convenience. And which is would best suit me. I would be doing quite the amount of travel within Tokyo, Osasak, and Kyoto especially.
Thank you.

If you're starting your trip in Tokyo, just get a Suica or Passmo card. You'll be able to use it on the trains and most buses in Kyoto and Osaka. www.japan-guide.com/e/e2359_003.html For Hakone its probably best to buy a Hakone free pass. Your IC card won't work, and none of the transport there from Odawara onwards is JR. http://www.odakyu.jp/english/deels/freepass/hakone/It's been over ten years since I last went to Tokushima and Takamatsu, but I remember the buses and trains all being JR so I think you'll be okay there.

In Kyoto, use a 1-day bus pass. It is only Y500. Each bus ride would deduct more than Y200 from a SUICA or PASMO card. Likewise a 1-day subway card is only Y600.
