Nagoya has a well-developed subway network. The network is not as dense as in Tokyo, for example, but rather comparable to major German cities. Further information can be found on the city's website: http://www.kotsu.city.nagoya.jp

In addition to the subway, there are various regional trains with stops in and around Nagoya which depart from Japan Rail, Meitetsu and Kintetsu operate. These are often faster to cover large distances in urban areas.

Practical advice

Despite its size, Nagoya is not particularly internationally oriented. While there are many signs in English in public areas such as the train, English is much less common than in Tokyo. In restaurants or shops in particular, it often happens that the employees speak little or no English. Due to the general willingness to help you can usually communicate even without knowledge of Japanese. However, it is strongly recommended that you learn or write down a few important sentences in Japanese.

If you want to send mail, you should either pay attention to the (very short) opening times of the post offices or know exactly what postage you need. You can also buy stamps in many convenience stores, but most of the time the sellers don't know what postage you need for international mail.

trips

Osaka and Kyoto can be reached in 68 minutes and 35 minutes respectively by Shinkansen, making them ideal for a day trip.
