Shin-Osaka Station (新大阪駅), or New Osaka Station,
is a train station in
Yodogawa Ward,
Osaka,
Japan. It is the western terminus of the
Tokaido Shinkansen, and the eastern terminus of the
Sanyo Shinkansen.
Shin-Osaka 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 Kyoto and Midosuji lines provide
convenient connections to other stations around the city center.
