Toyota is rather difficult to reach by public transport. Despite being close to the Tokaido-Shinkansen, it has no Shinkansen station, and it does not even have direct connections to nearby Shinkansen stations.The closest Shinkansen stations are Toyohashi, Mikawa-Anjo and Nagoya, with Nagoya having the fastest connections to Tokyo, Kyoto and Osaka. Toyota's main train station is called Toyota-shi, and approximately one hour from any of the Shinkansen stations, requiring changing trains at least once.

The most direct route to Toyota city is to take the JR Chuo Line from Nagoya city to Kozoji. Change to the Aichi Loop Line and take that to Toyota. Be warned that the Aichi Line only runs about once or twice an hour.
