Hi there,

A 7-day JR Pass is a good option to consider here. The cost of the pass is about the same as a return ticket Tokyo - Kyoto using the Shinkansen bullet trains. Any travel after this is basically what you'll save. This can be local travel in Tokyo, Osaka and Kyoto. Travel to the airport and perhaps a day trip somewhere.

Hope this helps,
Daniel
