The same is true in Kansai. JR is the largest train line, but there is Hanshin and Hankyu railways, as well as subway lines.
I just want to make sure people, especially newbies, understand that not all trains are JR and use the pass.

That is very true, but a lot of people want to hit major cities etc while on their trip here, and well, basically what I wanted to communicate is.. if you are going to being using, or wanting to use the bullet train a good amount of your time in Japan, the JR pass is probably the best deal you can get.
