Train Connections in Osaka:

・Bullet train tickets from Tokyo to Shin-Osaka station let you take local JR trains to other JR stations in Osaka city as long as you don't go out of the ticket gate for local lines at Shin-Osaka station. So you can continue to ride the local JR train from Shin-Osaka station to Shin-Imamiya station if you are making a connection right after bullet train ride.
・On your return date, if you are returning from Koyasan to Tokyo on the same day, again, Shin-Imamiya station is the station you want to make a connection to. Because your return bullet train ticket allows you to start taking local JR trains from any JR stations in Osaka city, so you can start your ride at Shin-Imamiya station, and ride to Shin-Osaka station. 
・If you are to stay in Osaka for a day or more, Namba station may be the transit station instead of Shin-Imamiya station, because Namba area is one of the major tourist areas in Osaka. There are many shops, restaurants, and hotels in the Namba area. Shin-Osaka station and Namba station are connected by Subway, which is not covered by this package, so it will be a little extra to move between Namba and Shin-Osaka station.

Departure Stations:

・The tour departs from either Tokyo station or Shinagawa station of your choice.
・If you have already exchanged your voucher to the tickets in advance, it is possible to start your travel from one of the JR stations in the central Tokyo area other than Tokyo station and Shinagawa station. Please ask JR Tokai Tours agent if your selected station is covered by the ticket of this package. If you have not made an exchange and received no tickets prior to departure, you need to pay to take a train to come to JR Tokai Tours office in Tokyo station or Shinagawa station to exchange your voucher and receive tickets. 
・It is possible to start your travel from other JR Central Bullet train stations other than Tokyo and Shinagawa station, such as Shin-Yokohama, Odawara, Atami station. In that case, the section in your ticket between Tokyo or Shinagawa station and the station that you are starting your travel will be lost and no fare will be refunded. You will have to pay on your own to get to the starting station. You still need to keep the same departure date printed on your outbound ticket.
・You may disembark before you reach your final destination. In this case, part of the section in your ticket, from the station you got off to the bullet train and the final destination on your outbound ticket will be invalidated. When you do this on your outbound trip, it does not affect your return ticket, so you can board the return train from the station as originally purchased.
・On your inbound travel, it is also possible to start your travel from another JR Central Bullet train station other than the station printed on your ticket. For example, you bought a package to Osaka, but you can ride your inbound train from Kyoto station, somewhere closer to Tokyo station. In this case as well, the section in your ticket between Shin-Osaka to Kyoto will be lost and no fare will be refunded. You will have to pay on your own to get to Kyoto station.
・If you board an inbound train from the station other than the station you originally purchased, you need to pay for the section that was not included in the package.
