Things to do in Shin-Osaka Station

everything was very smooth. we availed the full rental of snowboard equiptments and unli lift. its very convenient to redeem.

We had a wonderful day on the Miyajima and Hiroshima day tour and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Japan. Alejandro was a fantastic tour guide — friendly, knowledgeable and very engaging throughout the day. He shared interesting information about both Miyajima and Hiroshima, while also giving us plenty of time to enjoy the sights and take everything in. His organisation and helpful nature made the whole day relaxed and enjoyable. A special mention also goes to Ito-san, our bus driver, who did an excellent job getting us safely and comfortably around during a very busy day. Miyajima was absolutely beautiful, and visiting Hiroshima was a very moving and memorable experience. Definitely add this tour to your must do list.

We started and ended on time. Our tour guide, Ceasar, was helpful and knowledgeable about the tour. Special thanks to our bus driver, Yamafuji, who brought us back safely to Kanazawa.

Enjoyed trip a lot. everything including bullet train tickets was planned and coordinated well by the tour agency. very well taken care during whole trip. guide was very much informative and could manage time very well to finish every thing well in time.

We didnt get to see the castle, due to me booking on a tuesday (perhaps worth mentioning on the booking), but visiting the two shrines and the Palace with KC was informative, as well as the drive around. His english was good, he was enthusiastic, and he used humour well throughout.

Fun activity. Walked through all of the steps to create a meneki neko and the staff were very helpful, friendly and encouraging, and just generally very nice people. They waited for us outside of the building so we could easily find them and like the description says, it's about a minute outside the Shin-Osaka station. In addition to the maneko neko, we also got a Polaroid of us with our creations, a lucky charm, a clear file and they even shared a matcha with us.

Joined the 1-Day Kyoto Tour with Sunrise Tours and it was an absolute highlight of our Japan trip. Our tour guide was incredibly informative, courteous, and thoughtful — sharing fascinating insights while ensuring everyone felt comfortable and included. Perfectly organized with seamless transportation and a wonderful balance of must-see temples and hidden gems. Highly recommended!

Miyuki was a wonderful guide! She was extremely knowledgeable about the castle/keep as well as the bridge! We had a wonderful time with her and learned so much! she even tied it into Osaka Castle (which we visited the day before). I highly recommend this tour!

Had an absolute ball. super friendly staff, safety was excellent with hand rail getting into boat and comfortable seating. Fun captain and music made it super enjoyable and some brief history in various languages. well thought out quick 20 minute tour but worth it for the experience and photos.
