Toyota (豊田) is the largest city in Aichi Prefecture by area, and the sixth largest city in the entire Chūbu region by population. 30 km southeast of Nagoya, it is best known as the home of (it was in fact named after) Toyota Motor Corporation. Meitetsu Bus runs 18 buses a day from Centrair, taking 1 hour 30 minutes and costing ¥1900. These buses take one of two different routes, but they all go to Toyota-shi Station. This is definitely an easier option than taking the train, which will require you to change twice.

Getting There
Multiple OptionsToyota is served by Nagoya's two airports, Centrair and Komaki. Meitetsu Bus runs 18 buses a day from Centrair, taking 1 hour 30 minutes and costing ¥1900. These buses take one of two different routes, but they all go to Toyota-shi Station. This is definitely an easier option than taking the train, which will require you to change twice. In the unlikely event that you use the domestic-only Komaki Airport instead, the easiest way is to take the bus into Nagoya (25 minutes, ¥700). For a direct train to Toyota-shi, get off at Fushimi-chō; for the highway bus, change at Sakae. Toyota's two main stations are Toyota-shi (豊田市), run by Meitetsu, and Shin-Toyota (新豊田), which is on the Aichi Loop Railway (also known as Aikan: Aichi Kanjo Tetsudo). The main way into Toyota is the Meitetsu Toyota Line, which is basically an extension of Nagoya's Tsurumai Subway Line. There are usually four trains per hour to Toyota-shi; from Fushimi, these take 50 minutes and ¥780....
Getting Around & Staying
Getting Around
Toyota is, atypical for Japan, a car city with a very good road network and very sparse public transportation, which is quite fitting, considering that Toyota is a popular car brand! There is a really nice bridge that looks like it is constructed out of dinosaur bones. It makes for some interesting pictures and a nice stroll in the afternoon.
