As are the Yamanote and Keihin-Tohoku Lines.
By the way, when you use the JR Pass, you will find that most of the turnstiles are automated and require you to insert your ticket. However, the turnstile farthest to the right is staffed (I believe it's mostly used by people with disabilities), and you just show your pass to the person on duty, who will wave you through.
