As such, it’s very convenient to choose a hotel in or nearby the station, saving you the trouble of having to carry your luggage while having easy access to the shinkansen and other train services. The station sits within the Nakamura Ward where you’ll find many large hotels ranging from high-end to budget, with several hotel franchises having a presence. Most hotels offer Western-style room and amenities with many of the larger hotels having English-speaking staff. For listings, see our ‘Nagoya Station / Nakamura Area’ hotel page.

Around 2.5 kilometres to the east of Nagoya Station, the area around Sakae Station and nearby upmarket Nishiki District also offer plenty of choice when it comes to accommodation. Most accommodation is again large, Western-style hotels with many mid-range and budget options. A fraction less convenient than staying around Nagoya Station, the Sakae district is easy to get to using multiple train services while putting you within walking distance of many of the city’s attractions and popular shopping centres in the area.
