Hi there,

Yes, I would say so. The 7-day JR Pass is about the same cost of a return ticket Tokyo - Kyoto using the Shinkansen. You can also use the JR Pass to/from the airport, so there are savings right away. You can use local JR trains and the Tokyo Monorail within Tokyo as well.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
