55-minute one-seat ride from NGO straight to Fujigaoka
If you live around Fujigaoka Station or the eastern side of Nagoya, this direct airport bus from Chubu Centrair (NGO) saves you a transfer at Nagoya Station and a drag on the subway. The run takes about 55 minutes from the airport to Fujigaoka and costs ¥1,800 as of 2026, so you can budget a set amount instead of juggling Meitetsu tickets and IC card taps.
The Airport Bus to Fujigaoka leaves from the bus stands outside Terminal 1 at NGO, on the same level as other highway buses and taxis. You buy a ticket for ¥1,800 before boarding, usually at the bus counter or a vending machine near the stop; keep the ticket handy, as staff often check it at the door. T2 passengers just follow the signs to the inter-terminal shuttle and then walk to the T1 bus area in about 5–10 minutes.
Seats on these airport buses are standard highway coach style with assigned or controlled boarding, so you actually get a proper seat for the full 55-minute ride rather than standing on a crowded commuter train. Luggage goes either in the underfloor hold or on overhead racks, and staff typically tag larger checked-style bags, making it easier than hauling a 23 kg suitcase through Nagoya Station’s platforms and escalators.
Timetables shift seasonally, but runs are generally spaced so that you can match them to major departure and arrival banks at Chubu Centrair in T1, and each single ride still comes in at ¥1,800. Late-night arrivals after the last bus may need to switch to Meitetsu trains via Kanayama or Nagoya Station instead, which adds at least one transfer and another 20–30 minutes to Fujigaoka compared with catching this direct coach.
Practical tip: Screenshot the latest Fujigaoka airport bus timetable before you fly; if immigration and baggage in T1 look slow, you’ll know exactly which ¥1,800 run you can still realistically make within that 55-minute window to the suburbs.
