"Coming from the Philippines, our arrival at Chubu Centrair Airport was made so much easier with this Meitetsu Airport Express ticket. Booking it online was simple, and redeeming the actual ticket at the airport was very fast and smooth. No confusion at all! The train ride itself was excellent. The express train was very comfortable, clean, and had plenty of space for our maletas (luggage). We got to Nagoya Station much faster than we expected, which was perfect after our long flight. I highly recommend this for fellow Filipino travelers or anyone looking for a convenient and efficient way to get to the city from the airport. It’s really worth the price for the convenience. Five stars!"

I booked a photoshoot in Nagoya with Kim-san, and it was an amazing experience. Before the shoot, the team coordinated with me to plan the concept, locations, and goals., I wanted both professional business shots and a few casual travel photos. Kim-san arrived early (as did I), and we started right on time. He’s very professional and clearly experienced, having photographed Korean stars before. Throughout the session, he gave great direction and knew exactly which angles and spots would look best. We took photos in unique locations around Osu, including small shrines, temple stairs, and hidden corners, which made the shots stand out from the usual tourist photos. In just one hour, we captured 169 high-quality photos, and I’m using many for my business now. Beyond photography, Kim-san also shared local tips and spots, making it a fun mini-tour as well. Highly recommended if you’re in Nagoya!

Convenient and fast, you can buy it right before departure and get it immediately. After opening the webpage, there will be a QR code. Use that code to go through the dedicated gate for entry and exit. It's really convenient.

Pass validity: Used once from the airport to Osaka, and then used the next day for a day trip to Koyasan. Worth the price and even covered the Koyasan cable car 🚡

The weather was great that day, there weren't many fellow travelers in the bus, the bus seats were spacious, and the tour leader gave a general introduction to the scenic spots and local cuisine. It's a trip worth taking!

Super convenient to use, you can enter the station directly by scanning the QR code, but not every gate has a place to scan, there's almost only one available, but it shouldn't be a problem if you pay attention.
