I'm traveling in Japan next month for 13 days. We'll be doing Tokyo, Osaka, and Kyoto. Is it worth it to just pick up a 14 day pass so we can use the metros, busses, and high speed trains between locations? Is there another way for foreigners to purchase a pass besides a hard-copy ticket mailed to me?

Hi there,
If your itinerary is solely comprised of Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto, it's likely that the 14-day JR Pass won't be your most cost-effective option, especially considering that the JR Pass doesn't offer much in terms of local city transport.
In all cases, you'll need to have a hard copy of the exchange orders mailed to you.
Kind regards,
Alexis
