Getting around

Bus & tram
Bus
Trains run a few times per hour between central Nagoya and the airport terminal. We can’t imagine why you’d want to take the bus, but some 17 buses a day run between the airport and Nagoya Station area (¥1500, 80 minutes). Alternatively, you can expect to pay as much as ¥13, 100 from central Nagoya by taxi.
Local transport
Subway
Nagoya’s Transportation Bureau (www.kotsu.city.nagoya.jp) operates an excellent subway system with six lines, clearly signposted in English and Japanese. The most useful lines for visitors are the Meijō (purple), Higashiyama (yellow) and Sakura-dōri (red) lines. The last two serve Nagoya station. Fares cost ¥200 to ¥320. If you plan to do a lot of travel by bus and subway, a one-day pass (¥850, ¥740 for subway only), available at subway stations, includes all transport plus discounted admission to many attractions. On Saturday and Sunday the donichi eco-kippu (Saturday-Sunday eco-ticket) gives the same benefits for ¥600.
