Is it far from Nagoya?
Actually, it's surprisingly easy to get there."Meieki" departure and arrival 1 dayMODEL COURSEIntroducing!

*This article is based on the holiday schedule for early February 2025.

10:10 Board Nozomi 17 (bound for Hakata) from JR Nagoya Station

First, board the Shinkansen and head to Shin-Kobe Station! It takes about 70 minutes, so it's nice to have a late breakfast on the train! I recommend Tenmusu!

11:14 Get off at Shin-Kobe Station and transfer to the Kobe Municipal Subway

After getting off at Shin-Kobe Station, transfer to the city subway! The Shinkansen ticket gates are on the second floor, so after exiting the ticket gates, go down the stairs you see ahead on your left, then follow the signs and it's a 2-5 minute walk to the subway station!

11:27 Board the municipal subway (towards Seishin-Chuo)

It's only one stop (1 minutes) to Sannomiya Station! If you sit in the rear car, it's easy to transfer!

11:29 Get off at Sannomiya Station, exit the ticket gate and head to Shinki Bus Kobe Sannomiya Bus Terminal

After arriving at Sannomiya Station, head to ground level from East Exit 3! Go through JR Sannomiya Station and head to the bus company's terminal, "Shinki Bus" (5 minutes on foot)! For detailed directions to the terminal,click herePlease also refer to this!

12:15 Board the Kita-Awaji West Coast Line (towards Awaji Island)

Please purchase a ticket at the terminal and board the 12:15 express bus."Kita Awaji West Coast Line"Once you board, you'll enjoy a relaxing 40-minute bus ride!

12:58 Get off at Awajishima Prefectural Park (Nijigen no Mori F Parking Lot)

bus stop"Prefectural Awajishima Park (Nijigen no Mori F Parking Lot)" We arrived at the "Nijigen no Mori" anime park! Go through the gate in front of the roundabout and you'll see the characters you've seen before and the music you've heard before! It's sure to get your motivation up!

13:00 Have fun at Nijigen no Mori!

Once inside the park, if you walk straight down the main street, you will see a giant slime and Onokogard Castle ahead on your left! If you go straight ahead, you will see a life-size Godzilla! It's a very impressive sight.

Express your love for your favorite work to the fullest!

18:40 Board the Kita-Awaji West Coast Line (towards Kobe) and head home

When I got off on the way thereSame bus stop (Awajishima Prefectural Park (Nijigen no Mori F Parking Lot))You can board the bus from anywhere in Japan, so it's safe! The return trip is also about a 40-minute bus ride!

19:24 Get off at Shinki Bus Kobe Sannomiya and transfer to the city subway on foot

The last stop is the Sannomiya bus terminal, so there's no need to worry about missing your stop! Once you get off, go back the same way you came and transfer to the Kobe Municipal Subway!

19:37 Board the municipal subway (towards Tanigami)

On the way back, take the Kobe Municipal Subway in the opposite direction (towards Tanigami) and it's just one stop and two minutes away! This is a time when you'll start to feel tired, so be careful not to oversleep!

19:39 Get off at Shin-Kobe Station and proceed to the Shinkansen ticket gate

Return the same way you came! It's a 5-6 minute walk to the Shinkansen ticket gate, and then a long escalator takes you to ground level!

19:45 Kobe souvenir time!

If you want to buy souvenirs other than "Nijigen no Mori", we recommend "Entree Marche" located in front of the Shinkansen ticket gate inside the station. It is a fairly large store that combines a convenience store and a souvenir shop, and has a wide selection of products, so it is the best place to buy souvenirs for family and friends! It also has "Franz", which is famous for its puddings! (Business hours etc. areclick here）

20:34 Board Nozomi 60 (Tokyo bound) from JR Shin-Kobe Station

The fun trip is about to come to an end. After boarding the Shinkansen from Shin-Kobe Station and riding for about 70 minutes, we soon arrived in Nagoya!
