Shin-Osaka
The Shinkansen station area — handy for trips to and from Tokyo or Hiroshima, and for early departures or late arrivals.
The area around Shin-Osaka Station, served by the Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen. The Osaka Metro Midosuji Line runs to Umeda, Namba and Tennoji with no transfer, and Osaka Station is one stop away on JR.
