If your plan is to stay in Tokyo only, then it is not really worth your while getting the pass. However, if you plan on moving to Kyoto for a few days, the return journey you would pay to get to Kyoto and back, will cost almost the same as your 7 day pass. So, yes, the pass is definitely worth it if you go to Kyoto.
Example 1: The cost for ONE WAY HIKARI Shinkansen from Tokyo – Kyoto equals 13,220JPY (or 26,440JPY return). The 7 day pass costs 28,300JPY (not including charges). And remember, you can use the 7 day pass every day, even if you are in Tokyo – on the JR Lines only.
