So I plan on going into to tokyo in the near future. My tavel in japan would make a stop in Osaka. I read about the Welcome Suica cars but I'm a bit confused. Cam I use the card to go Osaka and how would I get there if I can? Is there a station I need to take in order to get there? I know about the bullet train but I am not sure if that is included

Hi there,
The Welcome Suica is a product by JR-East, so it'd be best if you contact them for specific questions.
That said, the card is valid anywhere Suica is valid you can use it for normal trains but not the Shinkansen (unless you preload a Shinkansen ticket ahead of time). As this can be complicated, it is better to just buy a normal ticket when you do use the Shinkansen.
I hope this answers your question, a full guide is here:
