Landing at Chubu Centrair late at night or after a delay? This guide gives reference starting prices to central Nagoya, worked examples with the ¥4,000 surcharge for 22:00–06:00, and what to prepare when booking. All quotes are confirmed by our staff.
When your flight lands late at Chubu Centrair, the first worry is whether any transport to central Nagoya is still running. The airport sits on an artificial island in Ise Bay, some distance from the city, and immigration and baggage claim can push your exit from the terminal close to the last departures. This guide explains what to check beforehand and gives reference prices for a late-night private transfer.
Three things to check first
- Your actual landing time. Flights can be delayed, and you will usually leave the terminal well after the scheduled arrival.
- Last train and bus times. Timetables change, so rely on the official announcements linked at the end; we do not list specific times here.
- Late check-in at your accommodation. Confirm the front-desk hours in advance so you are not locked out on arrival.
If your landing time is close to, or later than, the last services, arrange a private car ahead of time rather than searching for transport after you clear customs.
Late-night private transfer: reference starting prices
One way, priced per vehicle. These are reference starting prices (not tax-inclusive), and tolls and parking are included:
| Destination | ECO (5 seats / 4 bags) | Alphard (7 seats / 6 bags) | Hiace (10 seats / 9 bags) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Central Nagoya | from on request | from ¥20,000 | from ¥25,000 |
A flat ¥4,000 is added for 22:00–06:00 (per booking, any vehicle). Worked examples (reference):
| Example | Calculation | Total |
|---|---|---|
| ECO, late arrival | on request + ¥4,000 | on request |
| Alphard, late arrival | ¥20,000 + ¥4,000 | ¥24,000 |
| Hiace, late arrival | ¥25,000 + ¥4,000 | ¥29,000 |
Pricing is per vehicle, so the more people share, the lower the cost per person. For example, six people in an Alphard pay about ¥4,000 each including the night surcharge.
