Well marked station. Easy to find trains and purchase tickets. Lots of shopping and restaurants in connected buildings.

Getting a quick bite to eat is easy from Pie Face which is an Australian meat pie shop/cafe. There are also fruit tarts available. Very delicious. It can be accessed from the Eki Marche mall entrance which is to the left of the central gates at Osaka station. Open from 9 a.m - 10 p.m.

Osaka Station City Is the main railway station in Osaka, within the Kita-ku district. This is however not the shinkansen (bullet train) station, which stops just one stop to the north. This station is one of the largest complex I’ve ever seen of a train station, linking underground, regional trains, buses and even metro into a station that’s surrounded by all sides by shopping centers and departmental stores. I got lost just walking around this station and the surrounding North and South Gate Buildings.
There are dizzying amounts of buildings around Osaka Station that are giant shopping malls and office blocks. One of them, the Umekita, just next to North Gate has a large selection of restaurants at its dining floor. It was raining that day so had the opportunity to try on these. Not cheap though, and I definitely prefer the more gritty style of street food or Izakaya. Despite that, the food's still delicious.

Got small room for muslims to pray. Really lively place with a lot of places to go nearby

If you not fluent in reading kanji it is extremely hard to navigate compared to the Tokyo. Because mostly located underground or in the buildings GPS and google maps do not work.
