I booked a hotel right next to Kitahama station and am having second thoughts about it for convenience. How much of a pain will it be to train to main areas from there?

I'm in Osaka for the first time for 10 days and probably doing to a day trip to Kobe and Kyoto. Also mapping my stuff out a lot of stuff seems to be around Umeda.

Mainly we're foodie type travellers and looking to eat our way through the three cities.

Any helps/tips will be appreciated! Thanks in advance
