WHERE TO STAY — NAGOYA

Schematic map of five areas to stay in NagoyaA map of central Nagoya with the Hori River, the Meijo and Higashiyama subway lines, the Meitetsu line to Chubu Centrair Airport and the shinkansen line sits underneath. A marker at the bottom edge points towards the airport, which lies south of the area shown, and a train marker shows Nagoya Station, where the shinkansen arrives; whichever arrival point is selected above is drawn darker. The same five areas are listed below the map with their travel times.NGO ↓Shinkansen1Nagoya Station2Sakae3Fushimi4Kanayama5Osu

Pick by trip type

Where to stay depends on how you arrive and what kind of trip it is. Choose your airport, then find your trip.

First visit · Nagoya-focused tripStay inSakae

Sakae

Sakae is the centre of Nagoya for shopping and evenings out. From the airport it is the Meitetsu line to Kanayama and one change to the Meijo subway line, and once you are there most of the city is close by.

Nagoya plus the shinkansenStay inNagoya Station

Nagoya Station

If you move on by shinkansen, stay by Nagoya Station. The Meitetsu line runs from the airport to Meitetsu Nagoya next door with no change, and on the morning you leave the platform is a short walk away.

Early-morning arrivalStay inKanayama

Kanayama

Check-in is hours away when you land in the morning. Kanayama is the shortest run from the airport on the Meitetsu line with no change, so you can leave your bags at the hotel and start the day sooner.

Late-night arrivalStay inNear Chubu Centrair Airport

Near Chubu Centrair Airport

Chubu Centrair is a long way from the city, and if your flight lands after the last trains, getting into Nagoya gets slow and expensive. Book one night at or near the airport instead, and take the Meitetsu line into the city the next morning.

Travelling with childrenStay inNagoya Station

Nagoya Station

With children and luggage, the fewer changes the better. The Meitetsu line runs from the airport to the Nagoya Station area with no change, and the station is the hub for every other train you will take.

On a budget · Long stayStay inKanayama

Kanayama

Kanayama keeps room prices down for a longer stay, and it is the shortest run from the airport on the Meitetsu line. Sakae and Nagoya Station are both a short ride away.

Couples · A quieter stayStay inFushimi

Fushimi

Fushimi sits between Nagoya Station and Sakae and is quieter in the evening than either, with Sakae close by when you want to go out.
