It's also right next to the centre of town, where a number of stores selling TF's and other things can be found if you search.

Also Himeji is between Osaka and Hirsohima, and worth a one day look (you probably don't need to stay there though, just drop by on the way up or down).
Might check that stuff out in Hiroshima while we're there.

for those of you who have been to japan before (particularly in osaka and hiroshima) what hotels did you stay at and could you please review said hotels
