Can I catch the shinkansen from Shinjuku station headed to Kyoto Station or do I have to get to Tokyo Station to catch it? What are my options?

No. JR Shinjuku station is not served by the shinkansen. Your best route is to take the train to Tokyo station and catch the shinkansen there. Or you can go to Shinagawa, and maybe Shin Yokohama. But Tokyo station would be the way to go.
JR Chuo Line or Tokyo subway are options from Shinjuku to Tokyo with no change of trains. You probably would have to change trains going to Shinagawa or Shin Yokohama. Forget that I mentioned Shin Yokohama.
One more option, if you want to stop at Hakone, is to take the Odakyu Rail train from Shinjuku to Hakone Yumoto. After visiting Hakone you could catch the shinkansen to Kyoto at Odawara station. Odawara is just a few minutes by train or bus from Hakone Yumoto. The Odakyu train is not a JR train.
Thanks mrwunrfl....appreciate your valuable info no matter what kuranosuke says about you...only joking Ken lol
Aloha!
ht, ok, you owe me one. lol. don't forget to put a dime on little joe the hard way for me.
mrw sure knows his stuff about japan. maybe when he comes to hi, we can get him to join us for a few kirins and asahis, since he now lives just across the river.
kuranosuke:
Sounds great... first round is on me...are you giving the seven points to Dick Tomey tommorrow?
Aloha!
uncle tomey is laying in the weeds for us, and might give uh a tough rub, but in the end, by more than nanatsu.
