easy for foreigners to get around?

I'm heading off to Japan tomorrow. I plan to take the train from my hotel near Shinjuku to Ebina. I was just wondering if taking trains around the Tokyo area is going to give me a huge headache or if it is relatively easy for foreigners who do not use public transportation where they are from?

Trains are very easy to use. From Shinjuku, Ebina is about 50 minutes away, and you won't have to change trains, it seems.

Yep!

Btw, this is kinda easy and fast to use for checking train routes etc:

I forgot about this thread. Thanks again for the confidence booster. The trains turned out to be pretty easy to use. Although the train to Ebina was a two parter and the back part of the train split off and went to another station. Once I found this out I jumped off the train at a stop and ran to the front. That was the only spot of confusion I had the whole 2 weeks I was there.
