You want to minimize cost but asking about JR pass? Looking at your destinations, JR pass is not needed.

Day pass are 1200Yen per day. Unless one day u hop on to train alot times. if not will rugi. Example. Today my Plan is go Harajuku > Shinjuku > Ikeburuko. This 3 shopping district enough to walk all day. But i only take train 3 times only. less than 400Yen. If this day I buy Pass. That not best bang of buck anymore. U lost 800yen
