Where is Aichi Prefecture?
Many people know Tokyo and Osaka when they think of Japan, but Aichi Prefecture is also one of the three largest cities in Japan and is a recommended tourist destination. If you love Japan but have never been to Aichi Prefecture, then Aichi Prefecture is definitely the place to visit this summer!
Aichi Prefecture is located almost in the center of Japan. The center of Aichi Prefecture is Nagoya. It is located exactly in the middle of Tokyo and Osaka, so it is easy to get to anywhere.
How to get to Nagoya
Transportation options include airplanes, bullet trains, and express buses.
This time, I will introduce the quick and easy Shinkansen.
From Tokyo to Nagoya: It costs about 10,000 yen and takes about an hour and a half.
From Osaka to Nagoya: It costs about 7,000 yen and takes about an hour.
There is no need to transfer either in Tokyo or Osaka.
From Chubu Centrair International Airport to Nagoya
If you are coming from the airport, you can also take the train from Chubu Centrair International Airport Station to Meitetsu Nagoya Station without having to change trains.
It costs about 1,500 yen and takes about 40 minutes.
The hottest thing right now! "Ghibli Park"
First, the most recommended place is Ghibli Park. This is a classic tourist spot that you can't miss on a trip to Aichi. It is a park that expresses the world of Studio Ghibli works, and it is a place where you can walk on your own two feet, feel the breeze, and discover secrets while leaving the forest and roads untouched.
Tickets must be reserved in advance, so don't forget to make your reservation!
Aichi's classic spot! "Legoland Japan Resort"
It's a theme park that both adults and children can enjoy. The park is full of adventure attractions themed around the world of LEGO blocks, where families can ride rides, touch and build LEGO models, and more!
