Nagoya Station A practical interchange for airport, Shinkansen and circuit journeys; choose a hotel exit that suits your early departure. Shiroko Removes the Nagoya rail leg, but the final circuit shuttle and its queue still matter. Yokkaichi An intermediate base on the Kintetsu corridor. Check the station location of the specific hotel. Tsu An alternative south of Suzuka. Compare actual rail connections and evening return options before choosing a hotel; it is outside this guide’s 12-hotel shortlist. Choose your hotel and final circuit transfer together.
