Our Japan Rail passes have done us proud. We saved over £100 each on rail travel. We could use it on JR ferries and tubes too. The trains are always on time and as people have to pay for reservations, they are always used. There are markings on the platform which tell you where to get on for your car and where to queue up.
We could use the JR Yamanote tube line on our pass which was especially handy when we stayed in Tokyo Bay. The tube map is a little more complicated than in London! Don't be fooled by the fact that stations are linked. We had to walk 1km from the entrance near our first Intercontinental hotel to the Maranouchi line whereas the Ginza line was the closest. There were four lines marked with two different names (one was Tameike-sanno), each at varying distances away. They are long subways but the alternative is walking by busy roads and junctions.
