Review for: Shin-Osaka station · Kokura / Hakata

Redeeming the tickets is very simple and straightforward. If you need help, you can always go to the Tourist Information which is available at all the major train stations such as Umeda, Shin-Osaka and Osaka for assistance. And oh yes, Shin-Osaka and Osaka are 2 different stations at 2 different locations.

Review for: Hiroshima · Shin-Osaka station

This voucher is real value for money. At first we found it challenging to find the green ticket machine on Osaka station. Once found we were unable to exchange our voucher but we were helped next door at a tourist counter by showing the voucher and our passport. We got on the Hello Kitty Shinkansen. And we loved the ride to Hiroshima.

Review for: Shin-Osaka station · Kokura / Hakata

This is my first trip to Japan. I used it for the Shinkansen between Shin-Osaka and Hakata. The seats are so wide that it is incomparable to KTX. Even if I push my butt forward and stretch my legs, I can't reach the seat in front of me. The chairs are so comfortable and it feels like riding a limited express train. It was impressive that the staff at Shin-Osaka Station guided me so kindly, and I still can't forget it. And the kindness I felt from Japanese people while staying in Japan. I think I will definitely come back to Japan for that kindness.
