Taking advantage of the fact that Nagoya University lacked strict traditions, it produced a free and vibrant academic culture and built a reputation for original and high-quality research. This energy was handed down to our students, leading to outstanding research as represented by the six Nagoya University faculty members who have been awarded Nobel Prizes.

Excellence in the field of research and advanced educational programs apart, the Noyori Conference Hall, Nagoya University also includes quite a number well equipped event hosting spaces and conference halls, with facilities like access to high speed internet connectivity as well as projectors and display screens.

Route Map

Trains and Subways

There are several different companies and organizations that operate trains and subways in Nagoya and surrounding areas, which is bad news because they usually display their own route maps only at their stations. However, good news is that the ticketing and payment system is unified. If you get a prepaid card, you can use it for any train and subways lines with the fast touch payment system. You can also use it for buses and payments at many supermarkets and convenience stores.

If you purchase a prepaid card at Chubu Centrair International Airport, the card is called manaca. Even though the payment system network is almost unified, the card is called Suica or PASMO in Tokyo and ICOCA in Osaka, because issuers are different. For example, you can use Suica also in Nagoya. It is strongly recommended to purchase a prepaid card after entering Japan and to check how to refund the balance.

The bullet train, Shinkansen, connecting Tokyo, Shinagawa, Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka is operated by Japan Railway (JR). The train line connecting Chubu Centrair International Airport and Nagoya Station is operated by Nagoya Railroad (Meitetsu). The subway lines (Higashiyama Line and Meijo Line) connecting Nagoya Station and Nagoya University are operated by Nagoya City.
