 Location Guide - Aichi Center for Japanese Studies   (Site not responding. Last check: )
If you are arriving by the Shinkansen, it is usually quicker to change from the Shinkansen to the Tokaido line at either Nagoya or Toyohashi rather than at Mikawa-Anjo - even though Mikawa-Anjo is closer.
The reason for this is that Mikawa-Anjo only the Kodama (shinkansen trains that stop at all stations) stops at Mikawa-Anjo.
For travel to the west (Gifu, Hikone, Kyoto etc), a Kodama train from Mikawa-Anjo is often the fastest route.
