nagoya anyone?

hi! im headed to nagoya in a few weekends and am trying to figure out the cheapest way to get there. been looking at trains/highway buses and such but not very successful. anyone have any suggestions?

Easy, and pretty simple way

Easy, and pretty simple way is to take your local train to Tokyo, and then take a night bus. Night bus ticket is around 5000 yen each way, discount available if you buy round trip, I believe. There are also day buses, but the trip takes some 6 hours by bus, which is why I recommend the night bus. You will arrive in Nagoya (or Tokyo) between 6 and 6:30 a.m., at the main Nagoya or Tokyo station respectively.

123bus dot net, I think the URL is, has English booking, or you can also buy your ticket at a purchasing area located near the bus depots on the day of your trip, or in advance.
