3 Reasons Why Highway Bus Is the Best Option

1. Easy Access with No Transfers

You can travel from the Meitetsu Bus Center at Nagoya Station to Nagashima Spa Land without having to transfer at all along the way. This is a safe and secure route, as you don't have to worry about carrying heavy luggage or changing between trains and local buses. Once you arrive at Nagashima Spa Land, it's also very convenient, as it's only about a 3-minute walk from the bus stop to the park entrance.

2. Easy Travel Even with Large Luggage

Even if you have luggage such as a suitcase, you can use the luggage space (trunk room) on the bus during your trip, so you don't have to bring it to your seat and can ride lightly.

*There may be restrictions on bringing large luggage.

3. Comfortable Seating and Stress-Free Travel

Express buses operate on a seating capacity basis (extra seats may be used when the bus is crowded). This means you don't have to stand for long periods like you would on a train, and you can relax in your seat while traveling.

*During busy periods, if the bus is full, you may have to wait for the next bus.

Getting There by Train or Car

Transportation	Advantages and Disadvantages
Trains and Buses	Kintetsu and JR trains operate from Nagoya Station, which can reduce transportation costs compared to other means of transportation. However, you will need to transfer to a local bus at Kuwana Station, the closest station to Nagashima Spa Land. If you have luggage or are traveling with your family, this transfer may be difficult.
Car	Driving has the advantage of allowing you to travel on a flexible schedule. However, driving on unfamiliar roads and during weekends and Japanese holidays can be quite crowded, and parking spaces around Nagashima Spa Land can also be expensive.

The express bus is a wise choice as it does not require transfers, you are guaranteed a seat, and once you arrive at Nagashima Spa Land, it is only about a 3-minute walk from the bus stop to the park entrance.
