The Limousine Bus is a fair alternative to the 7.07 train. At that time in the morning I would prefer it to the hassle of taxi and schlepp thru Shinjuku station with luggage.

There's a limo bus that leaves from Park Hyatt at 7.05.

100 minute journey time - should be punctual on a Sunday.

Unfortunately, you can't use your JR Pass for that ...
