Shinjuku Station is a beast, I feel you. Forget ninjas, use Google Maps. Seriously. It's surprisingly accurate in @Tokyo, even for the labyrinthine Shinjuku Station. Input your destination (Tokyo Credit Association Shinjuku Branch Office), and it'll give you the optimal route, including which exit to use. From Narita, the easiest is the Narita Express train. It's pricey, but fast and direct to Shinjuku. Otherwise, the Keisei Skyliner to Ueno, then transfer to the JR Yamanote Line to Shinjuku. That's cheaper, but adds time. Factor in potential delays, especially during rush hour. Good luck! You'll conquer Shinjuku. It's just... a lot.
