Good to know
For those looking to join from Tokyo, take the following services on the Tokaido Shinkansen line:
Departing Tokyo Station – Arriving Nagoya Station
Tokyo: 07:00 – Nagoya: 08:38 – Nozomi No. 203
Tokyo: 07:09 – Nagoya: 08:47 – Nozomi No. 9
Rather than heading straight back to Tokyo, we recommend staying in Nagoya after the tour or booking accommodation in Hikone or Ise.
