HYPER LOCAL NAGOYA
Looking for a train line that’s a little off the beaten path in Nagoya? Look no further than the “Aonami Line,” a local railway that was converted from an old freight line and runs through the industrial heartland of the city. While the final stop, Kinjofuto Station, is surrounded by tourist attractions like Legoland, let’s be honest – you’re probably not going to ride Aonami line unless you’re a local resident. But trust me, on a rainy and cloudy day, the gritty atmosphere of the factories and warehouses along the Aonami line is a perfect match, creating a moody and picturesque ride unlike any other in Nagoya. So hop on board at Aonami line and discover the hidden charm of this uniquely local train line!

Aonami line: Glimpsing into the heart of Nagoya’s industrial roots!
Once you head south from Nagoya Station, the Aonami line weaves its way through residential neighborhoods, industrial areas, and warehouses, all leading up to the harbor’s edge. And let me tell you, the views out the window are a work of art, especially as you get closer to the final stop. The overcast skies and drizzle only add to the charm of the unique and quirky industrial district that unfolds before your eyes.
As you near the last station, you’ll be greeted by a whole host of factories, each one more picturesque than the last. You’ll be snapping away with your camera in no time! The weather just makes it all the better, like glimpsing into the heart of Nagoya’s industrial roots. It’s like a scene out of a dystopian movie set in the near future, and I can’t get enough of it.
Just as you think you’re finally going to see some Lego action, you’re instead treated to a panoramic view of the factory district, complete with towering chimneys and rows of cars waiting to be exported from the nearby Kinjo Port. And if that’s not enough for you, get ready for a close encounter with giant ships and the iconic Meiko Central Bridge. Welcome to the ultimate field trip!
