About the Rail Pass
Hi! I will be in Japan for 8 days, planning to buying a 7 day rail pass. Do I still need to purchase a PASMO card for my travels?

The pasmo card is really useful for local transport, since the JR Pass does not cover private lines or local buses. And it can be used in major cities around Japan, not just Tokyo.

What about comparing it to Suica? Is it better to get a Suica or Pasmo?

I think they're pretty much the same now:
