FAQs
What are the must-visit attractions and unique experiences in Aichi Prefecture?
Aichi Prefecture offers a wealth of travel resources. Must-visit attractions include Nagoya Castle, one of Japan's three great castles, where you can delve into its history and culture. For family travelers, LEGOLAND Japan and the newly opened Ghibli Park are great destinations filled with fun and fantasy. If you're interested in traditional culture, Atsuta Jingu Shrine is an unmissable power spot. Additionally, Tokoname City is renowned for its ceramics, offering hands-on experiences where you can create unique souvenirs. These itineraries cover history, culture, theme parks, and craft experiences, catering to diverse traveler needs.
What is the recommended itinerary for a smooth independent trip to Aichi Prefecture?
For an independent trip to Aichi Prefecture, it's recommended to divide areas by geographical location and theme. For example, allocate 2-3 days for Nagoya city, including Nagoya Castle, the Sakae shopping district, and Osu Shopping Street. If traveling with children, group LEGOLAND and Ghibli Park in nearby areas to save travel time. Consider using a subway day pass or purchasing a 'Shoryudo Bus Pass' to connect surrounding regions. When planning your itinerary, factor in travel time and allow for flexibility to make your journey more relaxed and smooth. You can book some tickets or day tours via KKday for Chinese customer support and flexible cancellation, easing language communication concerns.
When traveling to Aichi Prefecture, is it more convenient to drive or use public transportation?
The convenience of transportation in Aichi Prefecture depends on your itinerary. If you plan to sightsee mainly within Nagoya city, the public transportation system, including subways and buses, is very comprehensive, efficient, and affordable, eliminating parking worries. However, if you plan to visit suburban attractions like Ghibli Park, Inuyama Castle town, or more distant natural scenic areas, especially with a larger group or significant luggage, self-driving offers greater flexibility and convenience for deeper exploration. It's advisable to choose the most suitable transportation method based on your destination distribution and travel companions.
When is the best time to see autumn leaves in Aichi Prefecture, and what are the recommended viewing spots?
The best time to view autumn leaves in Aichi Prefecture is typically from late November to early December each year. During this period, the temperature cools, and the leaves gradually turn red and yellow, creating a picturesque scenery. Recommended viewing spots include Korankei Gorge, famous for its layered maple leaves and night illuminations, making it Aichi's most iconic autumn foliage destination. Additionally, Tokugawa-en Garden and Higashiyama Zoo and Botanical Gardens within Nagoya city are great places to admire autumn leaves in an urban setting, allowing you to experience the romance of autumn amidst the city. Planning ahead and checking local autumn foliage reports can ensure the best viewing experience.
What are the recommended transportation options from Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) to Aichi Prefecture's city center?
There are several convenient transportation options from Chubu Centrair International Airport (NGO) to the city center of Aichi Prefecture (primarily Nagoya Station). The fastest option is to take the Meitetsu 'μ-SKY' limited express train, which reaches Nagoya Station in about 28 minutes with frequent and comfortable services. Alternatively, Meitetsu express and semi-express trains are available, taking a bit longer but costing less. If you have a lot of luggage or wish to go directly to a specific hotel, consider taking an airport limousine bus, which stops at various major hotels and stations, saving you the hassle of transfers.
