Minimum transfer time Shin Osaka

Hi Stephen,

Yes, that is plenty of time. The key to getting your transfer done easy is to follow the sign with the right track numbers.

The transfer area for Shinkansen at Shin-Osaka station is fairly small and can be done in as little as 5 minutes.

and Yes, the JR Pass will always allow you to take the next train for free - though you could lose your seat reservations.

Hope this helps,
Daniel

Thanks Daniel. This is very helpful. If we missed the train for which we have reservations. Will we need to buy tickets from JR Ticket desk or can we pay for tickets on the next train?

Thanks again for help.
Stephen.

Hi Stephen,

You can either take a non-reserved seat in the next train, or go back to the ticket office and get a reservations for the next :)
