"Convenient location" - That's open to debate. It's certainly close to Tokyo, which is convenient for Tokyo-ites who want to take a short break from Tokyo. But it's not on the way to Kyoto. To get there, you make a detour from the route to Kyoto. A return trip by Shinkansen to Nagano or Gunma would not take much longer than the detour to Hakone.
Well convenient because I researched that Hakone is close to the Shinkansen Line Kyto-Tokyo if you use Odawara stop - or am I mistaken?

So, you'd rather take a sidetrip to Gunma to the ryokan that you mentioned above and then heading straight from Tokyo to Kyoto leaving Hakone out of the itin alltogether?
