Do I need a JR Pass if I only travel in Tokyo?
If you spend your travel time only in Tokyo, then the JR Pass is not necessary, except for its convenient use on Tokyo JR Network.
However, if you plan just a roundtrip to Kyoto, over several days or on the same day (about 2h30 for a one-way trip), to discover the traditional capital and its charms, then a 7-days JR Pass will save you money!
