Living in Kani

An industrial city at the western edge of the Nagoya commuter zone, where auto-parts subcontracting factories are concentrated. Getting to Nagoya takes 1 to 3 transfers and anywhere from 1 hour to 1 hour 30 minutes, so you have to give up a great deal of city-center access and entertainment-district infrastructure. It is a regional industrial town type of neighborhood.

An industrial city in southern Gifu that takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to Nagoya on the Meitetsu Line. With many auto-parts subcontracting factories, it is a bedroom town for Nagoya and also has many foreign workers, and rent for a 1K is cheaper than in Nagoya. However, the direct train to Nagoya has been discontinued, so you have to change at Inuyama Station, and train frequency is low, so it is inconvenient without a car. It is a neighborhood that suits office workers who commute to Nagoya by car while saving on rent.
