Working remotely from Osaka in 2026: internet and coworking?
Kuzunoki's fine, 15 min to Umeda on the Midosuji.
Plus a direct line to Shin-Osaka, handy for Kyoto trips
Esaka is the better transfer if you're heading north.
Fair point, though Kamitsushima sits a bit east of the station itself, so add five or ten minutes on foot depending on the exact address. The Midosuji gets packed at rush hour, so I'd shift commutes if you can.
Namba, 7-Eleven wifi saved me.
which 7-Eleven was it, teh one near the station or further in?
konbini wifi is fine for email but drops on video calls, get a pocket wifi or a cheap sim from bic camera instead
only for backup, fiber at kuzunoki is solid
Fiber's the norm there, just confirm the building's actually wired before you sign
Good backup but too slow for video calls.
How do I get to the Kuzunoki tree in Kozushima?
kozushima is the island in tokyo, not osaka. the giant kusunoki there is on the miyake trail, reachable by ferry from take ria or kurihama then a bus. from osaka that's a shinkansen to tokyo first, so it's a full day each way. if u meant a big camphor in osaka, sumiyoshi taisha has one
yeah the kozushima ferry is a long haul from osaka, so sumiyoshi taisha is the realistic pick if they just want a big camphor
sumiyoshi taisha's camphor is a good call & easy off the nankai line, yuhigaoka or sumiyoshitaisha station. worth mentioning the kusunoki there is a national natural monument so it's roped off, no touching
Good point on the rope. the camphor at Sumiyoshi Taisha is the wife tree of a pair with the one at Yao, so if theyre into old trees both are worth a look. Nankai line makes it easy either way
You can also reach it from Tengachaya on the Nankai line, one stop sooner than Yuhigaoka. The rope makes sense once you see the trunk, it's hollow and propped with steel inside.
fair point, but tbh the ferry from Kurihama only runs in season and the trail up to the tree is a decent climb. if theyre going all that way they should budget a night on the island, not a day trip.
Agreed, and book the minshuku early since summer weekends fill months out on that island.
tbh the whole thing is a trip to Tokyo with a detour, not an Osaka day out. if theyre set on kozushima they should fly Hachijojima then hop over, way less painful than the train plus ferry slog
Worth adding the Kozushima ferry is seasonal and weather dependent, so build in a spare day wherever you base yourselves.
The Miike trail actually starts from the port side, not Miyake, so it's about 40 min up through the forest. Bring water, the vending machines stop once you leave town.
