Chubu Centrair International Airport

Chubu Centrair International Airport

Flights to Nagoya land at the new Chubu Centrair International Airport (Central Japan International Airport), about 40 km south of Nagoya. The airport is located about 40 km south of Nagoya on an artificial island. The fastest way to reach the city is by train. The best service is the Sky Limited Express which brings you to Nagoya Central Station in just 28 minutes. Other ways to reach Nagoya include by bus, which is less expensive but takes longer (around 70 minutes). Taxis are also readily available (expect to pay around 14,000 yen), and so are rental cars.

Best Time to Visit

Best Time to Visit

If you are planning your trip and wondering what the best time to visit Nagoya may be, it is certainly Spring and Autumn. In spring, the cherry blossoms (Sakura), make the city the perfect place for a romantic getaway. In Autumn, the main streets are all coloured in red, orange and yellow. The "mapple hunting" (momijigari) makes it a true delight to explore. Avoid June and July, which are considered to be the rainiest months, also notoriously hot and humid. Some interesting events throughout the year: January: Coming of Age Day (Seijin no hi) March: Dolls Festival (Hinamatsuri) April: Flower viewing (Hanami) November: Seven-five-three (Shichi go san) October: Nagoya Festival (Nagoya Matsuri)
