Before you go

  1. NGO (Centrair) connects by train to Nagoya station
  2. The subway covers town · save a car or a day tour for the mountain routes
  3. Ghibli Park is in Aichi and needs tickets ahead — it is not the Ghibli Museum in Mitaka

Best time Mar–May and Oct–Nov are comfortable · winter suits a snowy Shirakawa-go trip

FAQ

How many days?

1–2 nights in the city, or 3–4 if you add Takayama or Shirakawa-go.

Not in town. Mountain stops work as a day tour, or a rental if you chain several.

How long from Tokyo or Osaka?

About 1.5 hours by shinkansen from either side, depending on the train.
