Nagoya Station with excellent access to Ghibli Park
Ghibli Park, produced by Studio Ghibli, is opening.
We have been yapping about the outline of ticket sales for individuals overseas for quite some time, but it has been officially announced that reservations and purchases will be accepted starting January 10, 2023, at 14:00 (Japan time).
Lodging is an important factor in making travel plans.
This article will introduce information on hotels in the Nagoya Station area, which will be your base when coming to Ghibli Park.
About Nagoya Station and its location
Nagoya is the capital and largest city of Aichi Prefecture, where Ghibli Park is located.
Nagoya Station, located in the center of the city, is the hub of the Shinkansen bullet train line that runs through Japan, and is located approximately halfway between Tokyo Station and Kyoto Station, where most tourists from overseas will stop by.
Nagoya Station is also served by Central Japan International Airport (Centreair), the main airport for this area of Aichi Prefecture, making it an important hub for those coming to Ghibli Park by air from overseas.
Nagoya Station is the best base for visiting Ghibli Park
Ghibli Park is located in Nagakute City, which borders the eastern side of Nagoya City.
The distance from Nagoya Station to Ghibli Park is about 30 km, and it takes about one hour to reach the park by train or car.
Because of this location, Nagoya Station is the best base for a trip to Ghibli Park.
In this article, we would like to recommend hotels in the Nagoya Station area that are conveniently located close to the Ghibli Park.
Three main routes from overseas to Nagoya Station
There are three main routes from overseas to Nagoya Station as follows
Although the express bus (3) is superior in terms of price, it takes two to three times longer than the Shinkansen and is not as convenient as the Shinkansen, so it is not recommended.
The following is a brief description of the route to Nagoya Station for those coming from overseas.
Take the Shinkansen from Tokyo, Kyoto or Osaka to Nagoya, the midway point.
Most people coming to Japan will land at the airports of Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka to go to various places.
Nagoya is located almost halfway between Tokyo and Kyoto/Osaka.
The Shinkansen (bullet train) from Tokyo to Nagoya takes less than two hours and costs about 10,000 yen.
From Kyoto or Osaka, it takes a little over an hour and costs about 6,000 yen.
The distance to Nagoya from Kyoto or Osaka is shorter, and the time required is about half.
From the airport to Nagoya by train
Recently, more and more people coming to Japan are arriving at Central Japan International Airport (CENTRAIR), the main airport in Aichi Prefecture, where the city of Nagoya is located.
It takes about one hour by train from Central Japan International Airport to Nagoya, and the fare is around 1,000 yen.
The train from the airport to Nagoya Station always stops at Nagoya Station, making it a relatively easy route to follow.
Express Bus to Nagoya
This is not recommended, but there is another way to get to Nagoya by highway bus from Tokyo, Kyoto, or Osaka.
The fare is about 2,500 to 3,500 yen, which is suitable for those who want to reduce transportation costs, but it takes more than 6 hours from Tokyo and more than 3 hours from Kyoto and Osaka.
In addition, the highway bus is not recommended for foreign visitors, as it is difficult to understand how to obtain tickets and there is not enough information on where to board.
In addition, there are many nighttime services, and it is almost impossible to expect that foreign language services or information will be available.
For these reasons, we recommend that you come to Nagoya by Shinkansen bullet train or train from the airport.
7 recommended hotels in Nagoya Station area
If you’re going to Ghibli Park and you get tickets for every day, stay at a nearby hotel and enjoy the park for as long as possible! It is natural to think so.
However, as of December 2022, there are no hotels in the immediate vicinity of Ghibli Park that we can recommend for visitors from abroad.
There is a possibility that this will be possible in the future, but we would like to introduce 7 recommended hotels mainly in the Nagoya Station area in order to provide you with the most accurate information.
