I know I've said it here already, but to reiterate since there's some misinformation: JR pass is ONLY worth it if you use the bullet train (or other long distance trip) at least twice on your visit. It's a ripoff otherwise, and inconvenient to use compared to a Suica card (having to line up with old people instead of just scanning).

Also in Tokyo at least, most (no, not all) of the places you'll go are better served by the subway. If you spend much time in Kyoto you'll be on subways too (or other modes of transportation). Not sure about Osaka, I had a car for my visit there.
