DAY TRIPS

Day trips from Nagoya without a car

Everything on this site carries the date it was checked against the venue’s own site. For destinations outside the city we are not there yet, so rather than publish a comparison table with estimated numbers in half the cells, here is what is confirmed and what is not.

CONFIRMED

Checked against the official site

Toyota Automobile Museum

トヨタ博物館

The history of the car worldwide, told through vehicles on display.

Hours: 9:30–17:00
Closed: Mondays (the following day when Monday is a public holiday), and the New Year period
Adult admission: ¥1,200
Getting there: About 5 minutes' walk from exit 1 of Geidai-dori (Toyota Museum) Station on the Linimo line. From Nagoya Station this means the Higashiyama subway line to Fujigaoka, then Linimo.

STILL CHECKING

Not published yet, and why

Inuyama
The castle, the old town and the river. Hours, admission and the Meitetsu fare are not yet confirmed against the official sites.
Meiji Mura
An open-air museum of relocated Meiji-era buildings near Inuyama. Opening days vary by season and are not yet confirmed.
Arimatsu
A preserved townscape on the Meitetsu line, known for shibori dyeing. The Shibori Kaikan's hours are not yet confirmed.

These are on the list because they are genuinely reachable by train and make a day. They are not published because a comparison is only useful when every destination has the same details filled in from the same kind of source. Guessing at one of them would make the whole table misleading.
