How to Get There

The quickest route from Nagoya Station is to take the JR line to Kanayama. From there, transfer to the Meiko subway line bound for Nagoyako Station, a 5-minute walk to the aquarium.
Taking the Higashiyama or Sakuradori subway lines to Kanayama is slightly cheaper, but adds a further five minutes to the 27-minute journey.
