Greater Nagoya ‒ The most dynamic region of Japan
Attractions of Greater Nagoya
Introduction
■Largest manufacturing base in Japan
Nagoya City, with a population over 2.2 million, is located almost
at the center of Japan. It has grown into one of three major
metropolitan regions (Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya) as a base for
business and commerce.
Greater Nagoya, centralized in Nagoya City, is the hub of
Japanese manufacturing industries, producing over 40% of major
manufacturing categories such as automobiles, automobile parts,
machine tools and aircraft parts, and exerts its role as a strong
leader in the Japanese economy.
The recent Nagoya economy remains strong. This enables the city
to attract many domestic and international investors as the most
dynamic region of Japan. In front of Nagoya Station, the gateway
to Nagoya, many high-rise buildings have recently been built,
increasing the city’
s vigorousness.
Nagoya continues to develop as a gateway open to Asia and the
world, with a focus on international business with many visitors.
We sincerely hope you will choose to locate your business in
Nagoya.
Increasing establishment of manufacturing sites contributes to Greater Nagoya’
s growing economy

Business Environment in Nagoya
Good access/optimal logistics located in the center of Japan
■Expressways/Major national route Highly functional road traffic network
Nagoya, connected to the world by Central Japan International Airport, lies at the heart
of Japan’
s transportation network, with convenient access to various areas of Japan.
Nagoya is the optimal place for basing business or logistics.
■Trains - Great connections with major
domestic cities
Nagoya lies between the Tomei Expressway, connecting the Tokyo region, and
the Meishin Expressway, connecting the
Kansai region, only about 4 hours from
Tokyo and 2 hours from Osaka.
Additionally, a No. 2 Tomei and TokaiKanjo Expressways connecting Tokyo
and Nagoya are under construction now.
Cities along the Sea of Japan are also
easily accessible using major national routes and expressways. With even more
convenience on logistics and transportation in the near future, Greater Nagoya
is the optimal location for businesses targeting anywhere in Japan.
■Easy access to domestic and international
locations by air
Central Japan International Airport is the only major airport in
Japan that integrates domestic and international flights, making it
very convenient for transit.
An airport with less time loss
Opened in 2005, Central Japan International Airport (Centrair)
services domestic and international routes at the same location,
making it very convenient since transit can be done all in the same
building.
Nagoya Station is the
largest terminal in Greater
Nagoya.
Four train lines as well as subways
and buses connect Nagoya and the
rest of Japan.
All shinkansen trains stop at
Nagoya, and the city lies midway between Tokyo and Osaka.
Therefore, quick transit in either direction is possible.

For 5 consecutive years, Nagoya
Port has surpassed four other
major ports (Tokyo, Yokohama,
Osaka, and Kobe) in cargo volume,
and for 6 consecutive years in
trade value. It is Japan’
s No. 1
“logistics gateway to the world.”
Handling approximately 73% of Japan’
s trade surplus, Nagoya Port
is not only the driving force behind the Tokai economy, but also
development of the Japanese economy.
The port is connected to about 150 countries and regions,
enabling companies to easily envision using it as hub for Asia-wide
logistics.
One of the largest ports in Japan, the waterfront area is larger than
Tokyo and Yokohama Ports combined.

The No. 2 Tomei and Tokai-Kanjo Expressways that will connect
Tokyo or Osaka and Nagoya are under construction now. These
will be main arteries that will enable even smoother
transportation.
Since it is offshore and close to Nagoya Port, Centrair has the
advantage of being a logistics base for marine and aircraft
transportation.
Centrair is only 7 km away from
Nagoya Port. Therefore, various
means of transportation can be
used, such as building a logistics
center along the coast at Nagoya
Port and transporting cargo by jet
from Centrair.
