Exploring Secrets of Shin-Osaka Station

[@Gazumi-inOZ]

Excellent tips and video production as usual Andrew 📽️😮 Timely for me being back in Osaka in 5 weeks. That end of station lounge looks like a great rest and train-watch spot, I'll grab a bento and head up there when I'm in the station 👍 Amazing toilets, regular Japan travellers will completely understand that 🚽. I saw a segment on NHK World on the 'award to Japan's best cleaner' I think she was an airport cleaner 🤔 she went above and beyond the standard cleaning cart and had added her own improvised equipment 😱 only in Japan. Thanks also for the tip on the cars displayed at the station certainly will keep an eye out for them. Beer & Sake sign, will be looking 👀. I love how you come up with unique things on your videos not often noticed or covered by 'clickbait' KZbinrs 😏 Keep em coming 🇦🇺🇯🇵

Glad you enjoyed it. Speaking of cleaning, I read that Osaka station had a robot cleaner but I've never been able to find it. My favourite is definitely that lounge, it's a real hidden gem especially if you don't like crowds much. I want to do more destination and guide videos this year, and I have Hakata, Hiroshima and Nagasaki lined up for secrets videos. Is it me or are the clickbaiters getting worse? I watched one the other day and it was very cringe.

@@japanunravelled With Japan now 'the No1 tourist destination in the World' clickbaiters are jumping on everywhere 🫣. Looking forward to your Hakata Hiroshima and Nagasaki secret videos, all 3 are perfect for me as I'm now venturing into the south and further west of Japan in my future trips. Back in Osaka for 3 days in 5 weeks and then heading down to Mie Toba/Ise-shima, 6 days (Japan trip #10) ... Have you been down to Ise-shima yourself Andrew ? (My apologies if I've missed a video of you down that way) ... and do you do/done any meetups in Japan ? .... I followed on through your playlist of 'secrets in the railway stations', all of them great and notes taken 🧐👍😅

I went to see the shrine down in Ise maybe 10 years ago. Long before this channel started! Well worth the visit and longish journey. Nachi Falls is my favourite down that way, although Kumano Kodo is great if you have the time and good weather. Meetups are something I'll look at sometime in the future though perhaps not this year. Something to look out for on the community tab or in the monthly email.

That Bento really got me on the edge of my seat, love to get a taste of it, it never gets old!

[@Pihoqahiaq]

Your videos are incredibly helpful, and filled with so many things both essentials and esoteric. Thanks so much for sharing all your tips and ideas.

[@japanunravelled]

Glad you like them! The next in this series will be Hakata Station - it's my favourite for secrets.

damn, i was in osaka a week ago and didn't bother to explore the shin-osaka station. might go back next month to catch up on that lol

[@japanunravelled]

Lots to see in Osaka station too!

[@shirinlol20562]

wow again great video!! Thank you so much for your work! I really enjoy watching your Videos, especially the hidden gems !!! Btw what is your favorite season in japan? People really love the sakura and fall leaves but this also includes heavy crowds. as someone who enjoys the more layed back vibes which months would you recommend? keep up the great work !!

[@japanunravelled]

Thank you very much! I love travelling in autumn and winter. Winter is insanely underrated. November and December are great - mild in the centre and south, chilly up north. I much prefer autumn leaves to sakura. However, you can come to Japan at any time and have a great trip. Hope that helps (and watch out for a future video on this topic).

Thank you for your very informative and good quality video, by the way, me and I will stay near the shin Osaka station, what transportation you recommend us to take for us to go to Kansai Intl airport as we both carry one big and one medium size luggage

[@japanunravelled]

Simplest is the Haruka Limited Express - goes directly to the airport from Shin-Osaka.

[@setomaru1546]

@@japanunravelled Thank you for you video. And from itami? And has Shin-Osaka luggage locker or Storage Room for a big size luggage (75x45x30 cm)? Thank you

[@japanunravelled]

@@setomaru1546 You can easily get a bus to Itami. There are lots of luggage storage options there too: cloak.ecbo.io/en/jpn/city/osaka/20

COOL! And it's a female Kappa serving that sake!

[@japanunravelled]

I kind of miss the older adverts though.

[@qwertyasdf2838]

Been there in novembre 2018 to take shinkansen to Hiroshima, I remember a real bungaku puppet and Sennary byotan in a glass display nearby the 3F south exit(if my memory does not fail)are those still there?

[@japanunravelled]

Yes, I think they're still there!

[@johnbailey2933]

Always appreciate your 'secrets' videos. But, still, waiting for the one showing where are all the secretly hidden trash cans ...

[@japanunravelled]

Convenience stores and stations.
