That’s so funny, I spent about an hour walking around Osaka station the first time I went there trying to figure out how to get out. Ended up back in same place quite a few times. Near the Hankyuu railway staircase.

In my backpacker days I once stored a backpack in a locker in Osaka and went out for the day. It took me quite a while to find it again!

LTP: Take pictures of the where you've stored your luggage/bags, "with" surroundings. That way you'll have a much easier time finding it. Especially in larger stations around Japan. Saved my ass in Shinjuku this year.

Do this for cars in parking lots too.

Omg, snap! I didn’t do it again after that. Also for the idea mentioned about taking photos. No camera phones back when I was doing this and it was actually in Japan that I bought my first proper digital camera, the Canon Ixus 3 I think iirc

I got lost in Kyoto station the day I had to catch a train to Osaka to take a plane from KIX. So many platforms, different train lines, exits. It's crazy.

Somehow I've always done fine at Shinjuku, although during rush hour it can be trickier.

Osaka is notorious for very poor exit labelling
