Railway Lines
Nakajima Station is served by the Aonami Line, officially known as the Nishi-Nagoyakō Line (West Nagoya Port Line). This commuter railway connects Nagoya Station, a major transportation hub, with Kinjō-futō Station. The Aonami Line is particularly significant as it offers rapid transit access to popular attractions like Legoland Japan Resort and the SCMaglev and Railway Park, both located near its terminus. The line, originally a freight branch of the Tokaido Main Line, was converted for passenger use in October 2004, though a section between Nagoya and Arako Station still accommodates both passenger and freight traffic.
Travel Tips
When traveling to attractions like Legoland Japan Resort or the SCMaglev and Railway Park, the Aonami Line from Nakajima Station provides a direct and efficient route. The line's name, 'Aonami', cleverly combines elements of the operating company's color ('ao' for blue), Nagoya ('na'), and Minato ward ('mi'), also translating to 'blue waves', reflecting its connection to the port area. With its modern 1000 series rolling stock and an operating speed of 110 km/h, the Aonami Line ensures a smooth and timely journey.
