Hi there,
Normal ticket will work fine if you just stay around Tokyo.
A JR Pass is recommended if you can travel between Tokyo - Kyoto and make a return. The cost of the pass is about the same as a return ticket.
For a couple of day trips, think about Yokohama, Kamakura, Nikko and Mt. Fuji.
Hope this helps,
Daniel
