About

Every Tokaido and Sanyo Shinkansen stops here, from Nozomi to Kodama, plus Kyushu-bound Mizuho and Sakura. The station is a self-contained world: the 3F concourse links Shinkansen and JR local lines; Eki Marche and the newer Alde shopping zones pack in 551 Horai butaman, Rikuro cheesecake and Osaka souvenirs; and the Midosuji subway delivers you to Umeda in 6 minutes and Namba in about 15. Watching N700S trains glide in at the long platforms is a quiet joy for rail fans.
