Book a trip from Kathmandu to Nagoya with Cathay Pacific

The most convenient way to reach the city centre from the airport is by taking a taxi or renting a car, which takes approximately 50 minutes. Alternatively, travellers can board the Meitetsu Limited Express train, which will get them to Meitetsu Nagoya Station in around 40 minutes. This train option provides a more economical and efficient way to travel from the airport to the heart of the city.

For history enthusiasts visiting Nagoya, the Nagoya Castle is a great place to start. Constructed in the 17th century and previously serving as a military fortress, this majestic castle was unfortunately destroyed during World War II. However, the castle has since been meticulously reconstructed, preserving its original Edo-style architecture. At the castle, visitors can explore a range of fascinating exhibits, including the impressive golden Shachi, a mythical animal with a tiger's head and fish-like body weighing over 1,200 kg. Additionally, the castle grounds are home to a designated natural monument, the Torreya Nut Tree, which predates the castle's original construction by 200 years.

The Toyota Kaikan Museum provides visitors with an in-depth look into Toyota's approach to vehicle manufacturing, covering various aspects such as the environment, safety, production, and the company's role in society. The museum features several interactive exhibits that showcase Toyota's innovative technologies, manufacturing processes, and commitment to sustainability. While the museum is currently undergoing partial renovations in some areas, it continues to offer a virtual plant tour and the opportunity to view the latest Toyota and Lexus vehicles. The Toyota Kaikan Museum is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the automotive industry and Toyota's vision for the future.
