Getting to Toyota Commemorative Museum

From Meitetsu Nagoya (名鉄名古屋駅)

Take a Meitetsu Nagoya Line local train that stops at Sako Station (栄生駅). The museum is a short walk from Sako. The Me-guru sightseeing bus from Nagoya Station is an alternative on operating days.

Sakō Station (栄生駅)

The line is salmon on the network map. Look for the red NH37 station badge in the photo and confirm the train stops at Sakō (栄生). Official transport information
