Overview
The Strings Hotel Nagoya is three minutes from Sasashima-raibu Station in Nagoya-Sasashima Live, one Aonami Line stop from Nagoya Station. Four restaurants serve guests from breakfast through dinner, while room choices range from compact doubles and twins to larger layouts for three adults.
This isn't part of the Nagoya Station complex, and the walk from the Sakura-dori Exit takes about ten minutes. Closer to the hotel, Global Gate's shops and restaurants, Zepp Nagoya, and canal-side public space give guests more to explore around Sasashima Live.
Rooms
The 18-square-meter Smart Double and Smart Twin are compact entry categories for one or two adults. Corner Smart Twins have windows on two sides but add only two square meters, so the main benefit is extra light rather than substantially more floor space.
At 25 square meters, Deluxe Twins can accommodate a third adult. One version faces the railway, while another looks toward the chapel. The 28-square-meter Residence Twin adds a larger desk and coffee machine, and the Universal Twin has a wheelchair-accessible layout.
The 36-square-meter Suite is the largest option and has a fully separated bathroom. If you're sharing with a third adult or carrying more luggage, compare the larger categories instead of booking a Smart room by default.
Facilities
Weddings and events occupy much of the first three floors. Banquet rooms range from smaller meeting spaces to halls for large gatherings, and several connect to gardens, terraces, or lounge areas.
Published accessibility details cover the step-free entrance, elevators, fourth-floor reception, breakfast venue, and Universal Twin. About 60 paid outdoor parking spaces are available, though the car park can fill and vehicle-size restrictions apply.
Dining
Chef's Live Kitchen serves a daily breakfast buffet from 7:00 to 10:00, then opens for lunch and dinner. The other venues offer teppanyaki, French dining, and afternoon tea in the New York Lounge, so dining at the hotel can be a planned part of the stay rather than merely a fallback.
The restaurants and event rooms share the lower floors. Public spaces can be livelier during weddings, weekend meals, and special dining events.
Location and transport
Sasashima-raibu is the closest rail stop. Nagoya Station is next on the Aonami Line, while the street walk from its Sakura-dori Exit takes about ten minutes. With luggage, the short train ride is likely to be more comfortable than walking.
Nagoya Station provides Tokaido Shinkansen and JR services for long-distance and regional journeys. Meitetsu operates airport trains, while Kintetsu, the subway, and buses serve other city and regional routes.
Airport access
From Central Japan International Airport, the fastest Meitetsu Mu-Sky trains reach Meitetsu Nagoya in about 28 minutes. The final leg is on foot, by taxi, or via the Aonami Line. The hotel's complimentary shuttle from Nagoya Station is another option when its schedule matches your arrival.
From Nagoya Airport at Komaki, limousine buses take about 20 minutes to the Meitetsu Nagoya area, followed by the same final transfer. Neither airport route reaches the hotel door without this last leg.
Why stay here
A short Aonami Line ride connects the hotel with Nagoya Station's Shinkansen and wider rail network. Breakfast, four restaurants, and larger twin rooms add comfort to a sightseeing stay, although repeated departures from the main station still require the local train, the shuttle when operating, or the ten-minute walk.
Beyond the hotel, Sasashima Live has Global Gate's shops and restaurants, Zepp Nagoya, and canal-side public space. On operating weekends and holidays, Cruise Nagoya boats depart from the district for journeys along the Nakagawa Canal toward the port.
Good to know
The hotel isn't directly connected to either station. On weekends and holidays, its complimentary shuttle runs in both directions between the hotel and Nagoya Station. On weekdays, it operates only from the hotel to the station between 7:00 AM and noon, with no pickup for arriving guests. Check the current timetable before relying on it.
