Shin-Ōsaka Station

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Shin-Ōsaka Station (新大阪駅), is a train station in Yodogawa-ku, Osaka, Japan. It is the western terminus of the Tōkaidō Shinkansen, and the eastern terminus of the Sanyō Shinkansen.

Shin-Ōsaka is not to be confused with Osaka Station, which is located closer to the center of the city (about 3 km to the south). 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 Midosuji Line provide convenient connections to other stations around the city center.
