Not sure if you're saying this to reassure her. Or if you really thought Shinjuku Station was easy to figure out your first time there, then good for you.
I've been going to Tokyo few times a year for many years now and use Shinjuku Sta each time. I read Japanese, too. But I get confused each time I'm back there. Things seem to change all the time, too. Azusa to NEx transfer went from reasonable to taking forever to, again, fairly reasonable.
