City Bus Options

From April, 2015, Nagoya city has added a couple bus routes that may be helpful for students and others to commute from the Meitetsu Inba or Obata stations to/from Minamihara. “Minamihara” is a bus-stop right in front of the cardboard factory at the street 2 blocks in front of NIS. Please note that one of these routes has only one run from Inba in the morning, and one run to Inba in the afternoon, and the other bus is also limited to mid-morning/early afternoon runs only. Inba and Obata are stations along the Meitetsu Seto train line.
