Osaka Shinkansen Station, great area to stay for early shinkansen.

Shin-Osaka Station is a major railway hub in Osaka, Japan, serving as the western terminus of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen line from Tokyo and the eastern terminus of the San'yō Shinkansen. Located about 3 km from Ōsaka Station, it was built in 1964 to avoid running Shinkansen lines into the city center. With convenient connections to other stations via the JR Kyoto Line and subway Midōsuji Line, Shin-Osaka Station is a bustling interchange point for travelers heading in and out of Osaka.
