Amazing answers from Don and Justin here! Just want to add that while no pre-booking is needed, it is always best to leave plenty of time for your ride. Staff make an effort to get you on as fast as they can, but as Don mentioned you may not get on the first train, and even before that, at a large station like Shinjuku you will likely need to wait for a staff to come guide you to the train – so it may take 15-20 min to get on the train.
Basically, don’t leave the trip too tight!
