Access

Yamanohata (Takiko) Campus

Nagoya City University has 4 separated campuses. School of Biology and Integrated Science / Graduate School of Natural Sciences is located in the Yamanohata (Takiko) Campus.

Useful Suggestion

Do not ask someone how you can reach Nagoya City University. They may direct you to another main campus where the university hospital is located. You should ask specifically for directions to the Takiko (or Yamanohata) campus of Nagoya City University.

Access to Yamanohata (Takiko) Campus from Chubu International Airport (NGO; Centrair, Central Japan Intl APT)

1. Cuubu APT => Kanayama

Arrive at Chubu APT (Centrair) and take the Meitetsu train to Kanayama station. All trains will stop at Kanayama. However, it is convenient to take the Airport Express “named μ-Sky (Mu-Sky),” paying an extra charge of JPY 360 for the seat reservation in addition to the regular fair (JPY 830). It takes about 25 min to reach Kanayama by the Express train.

2. Kanayama => Takiko => NCU (Yamanohata)

At Kanayama Stn Bus Terminal, take bus line No. 11, 12, 14, or 16 (fee is JPY 210). All buses on these lines will stop at “Takiko” Bus Stop (the 5th stop after leaving “Takiko-dori 2-Chome”). From the bus stop, a 3 min walk southward takes you to the North Gate of Yamanohata Campus of NCU.

Access to Yamanohata (Takiko) Campus from Nagoya station (Shinkansen and other trains)

1. Transferring at Nagoya Station

After arriving at Nagoya Station by the Shinkansen (Super Express Bullet Trains), proceed to transfer toward the JR Chuo (or Tokaido) lines. Note that DO NOT go through Exit Gates instead of the Transfer Gates. At the automatic ticket gate for transfer from Shinkansen to JR lines, you may insert two tickets (namely, the regular ticket and the express ticket. In some case, one ticket includes all together.). You need to recover the former ticket from the machine for transferring and further travel, while the latter will be taken by the machine.

2. Nagoya => Kanayama

Ride the Chuo (or Tokaido) line train to Kanayama Station (4 minutes; the next stop in most case). Local and Rapid trains are available but Limited Express and “Central Liner” are NOT. If you take the Tokaido line, the Local Train will stop at a small station, “Otoubashi,” before “Kanayama.” Note: In case you exit from the main gate without transferring at Nagoya station, you will need to buy a ticket from Nagoya to Kanayama (170 yen). You can also take the subway (JPY 270) as shown below.

3. Kanayama => Takiko => NCU (Yamanohata)

Same as above.
