Will my daughter who is a US citizen and is currently living in Japan teaching english be eligible for a JRPASS if I purchase one for her prior to our visit to Japan to see her? We will be tourist for 2 weeks

Hi,
Your only hope for your daughter would be to get a JR Kanto Area Pass for the region around Tokyo. She could still save a lot of money with it though, on numerous day trips out from Tokyo.

Best of luck.
