Hi there,

Unfortunately only foreign visitors who enter Japan under a 14 or 90 day tourist visa are eligible for the JR Pass. There are not many possibilities to get a discount ticket without the JR Pass. To save some money you could travel on a non-reserved seat or buy a ticket at a discount shop that can give you up to 10% discount.

Hope this helps!
Daniel
