How do I get to the sites by car?
At the EXPO 2005 AICHI, JAPAN, a Park & Ride system has been adopted instead of parking lots next to the site in order to alleviate traffic congestion and reduce the impact on the environment. Those visitors traveling by car should park in one of the 6 Park & Ride parking lots (fee required) located in the vicinity of the sites, and then make their way to the sites using the available parking lot shuttle buses (free of charge). It takes approximately 20 to 40 minutes to reach the sites from each of the Park & Ride parking lots.
Note: The Park & Ride system involves parking your car or motorcycle (50cc and over) in one of the dedicated Exhibition parking lots and then riding the shuttle bus to the Exhibition sites.
Note: Please refer to the “Access to EXPO Site By private car (Park and Ride)” page for further information on each parking lot.

The Owari-Asahi, Nagakute, Nagakute South, Miyoshi and Fujioka parking lots are all ¥3,000 per day.
