Context : I’m a train enthusiast and would like to visit the newly opened Osaka Umekita Station.
Firstly, since the underground section is platforms 21-24 are they connected to the main Osaka Station, Platforms 1-11 ?
Secondly, are Osaka Station and Osaka Metro 2 separate systems and require to tap in and out to access each of them ?
Thirdly if they are separated, what is the minimum fee if I enter and exit the same station.

1. It is possible to connect between platforms 1-10 and the underground platforms 21-24 without exiting.
2. Osaka Station (JR) and Osaka Metro are 2 separate systems and you need to tap out and in.
3. Osaka Umekita Station is not Osaka Metro. It is also JR and you can access from Osaka Station. If you would like to enter and exit the same station, you would need to buy a 入場券 which should be about 140 yen.
