Osaka Station - map 2009/8/23 16:58
Does anyone knows where I can find a map of Osaka Station (not Osaka-shin) like this pretty one:

http://www.jreast.co.jp/e/stations/e866.html

And by the way, can I actually use the Suica card in Kansai-area for public transports (subways and suburban railways) or is just 'ICOCA' vaild?
Thanks in advance

You can use Suica only on JR trains in the Kansai area, but not on non-JR transportation. Icoca can also be used on non-JR transportation in the Kansai area.

Osaka station is well signed, in English, and all station staff speak sufficient English to be able to help you.

Maps ! 2009/8/24 21:08
Those maps were designed to be read by engineers and architects. I know my way around most of the big stations and still can't decipher the maps. As fmj said and it applies to them all in the major tourist areas. They are well signed and easy to navigate and you can usually find an English speaker.
