Hi there,

I am sorry to bring you bad news but only foreign visitors to Japan entering Japan under a tourist visa can use the JR Pass. I am afraid that you'll have to purchase normal tickets.

Actually, you can get a JR Kanto Area Pass, as long as you are a holder of non-Japanese passport.

That might save you quite a bit of money.
