Osaka Station is a major railway station in the Umeda district of Kita Ward, Osaka. It is served by a large number of local and inter-regional trains, but not the Shinkansen which stop at Shin-Osaka Station.
Shin-Osaka Station is about 3 kilometers from the Osaka Station, built in 1964 to avoid the engineering difficulties of running Shinkansen lines into the center of the city. Osaka Station City consists of the North Gate Building and South Gate Building, sandwiching the existing JR Osaka Station. The two buildings are connected with each other by a wide bridge over the railway tracks. |

There are many opportunities for you to discover Osaka’s true character.
Veiled much with a commercial-centric city touch, you may as well start from picking up the lively intonation of Osaka dialect, heard from the people as you ride on the escalators standing on the right, instead of the left in Tokyo; then discovering the contrast of popular food to eastern Japan, as you look for places to lunch. The deeper you get inside, and at the end of your stay, it is not completely impossible that you may have compiled your own original list of reasons covering from history, culture, sports, to business. |
