Shin-Osaka Station (新大阪駅, Shin-Ōsaka-eki)[a] is a railway station in Yodogawa-ku, Osaka, Japan. It is the western terminus of the high-speed Tōkaidō Shinkansen line from Tokyo, the eastern terminus of the San’yō Shinkansen and one of Osaka’s main railway terminals to the north. The lines are physically joined, and many trains offer through service.
Shin-Osaka is about 3 km from the older Ōsaka Station. The new station was built in 1964 to avoid the engineering difficulties of running Shinkansen lines into the center of the city. The JR Kyoto Line and subway Midōsuji Line provide convenient connections to other stations around the city center.
Shin-Osaka Station Facilities & Transfers
If you are traveling between Osaka and the rest of Japan, then the shinkansen or “bullet train” is the fastest and most comfortable way to travel. There are two shinkansen lines, which connect with Osaka. These are the Tokaido which runs from Tokyo in the east, and the Sanyo which runs from Fukuoka in the west. Both of these lines have their common terminus in Shin-Osaka station, so this station is a very important gateway for the Osaka metropolitan area.
Shin-Osaka Station Layout
Shin-Osaka Station is actually really well laid out, and it is easy to find your way around. The station is inside a four story building, but the most important floor is the 3rd floor.
