“Chūbu Region Overview”
The headquarters of Meitetsu Kanko Bus are located in Nagoya city, Aichi prefecture in Chûbu region, which is in the center of Japan.
Since we are located in the center of the islands of Japan, we have a geographical advantage. We have easy access to anywhere, including Tokyo in the east, Osaka and Kyoto in the west, and Kanazawa and Takayama in the north. It takes about three hours to Kyoto, four hours to Osaka, and five hours to Tokyo on the bus.
Chûbu region is full of attractions for traveling, which are magnificent nature that changes its color every season and hot springs, charming historical streets, the history and culture that have passed on the spirit of “Monodukuri (Art of Design and Manufacturing)” and very original local foods.
If you are going on a trip as a group, transporting on a chartered bus is very convenient as you can visit multiple sightseeing spots efficiently.
Here is a sample tour route using a chartered bus, which enables you to fully enjoy the charm of the Chûbu region!
