The park is very big. You can take the bus within the park🚌. You can take the bus to the terminal. You can walk around on Tubu and take a look at the scenery first.

Obviously there is a QRODE, but it is really troublesome to order and pick up tickets and you have to print a receipt. The whole scenery is beautiful and worth traveling in depth.

The length of stay at each location is a bit disappointing, but I think that can't be helped. The guide explained everything very well and gave me information, so I was really satisfied. The weather was nice, and Shirakawago was so nice that I wanted to see the snowy winter scenery. It's a course that many other group tourists visit. I recommend it if you go to Nagoya.

The park is huge! It is recommended to buy all the tickets for all three types of transportation in the park. You can enter the park around 11 o'clock in the morning and walk around until closing time, but there are still some buildings that you don't have time to take a closer look at. Overall, it is very interesting. There are many interesting interactions in the park, such as taking photos with the police at the police station. And take a photo with the train at the moment when the steam train sprays (the staff thoughtfully used the effect)! It is recommended that everyone who comes to Nagoya must go to Meiji Village for a walk for exercise~
