Getting to GREEN×EXPO 2027 can be a little confusing at first — the venue isn't directly connected to any train station. The site sits about 10 km west of Yokohama Station, in a residential area, so every route ends with a shuttle bus.
But once you understand the basic patterns, it's not too hard. After 29 trips to the 2025 Osaka Expo, the lesson I keep coming back to is: decide your access route in advance, and the day-of stress drops to almost nothing. This guide covers how to reach the venue by train, bus, and car — from Yokohama Station, Shin-Yokohama, the airports, and major Japanese cities.

Where Is the Venue?
The venue is located at the former Kami-Seya Communications Facility site, in Seya and Asahi wards, Yokohama. It sits about 10 km west of Yokohama Station.
Since no train goes directly to the site, you will need to combine a train with a shuttle bus to reach the entrance.
Train + Shuttle Bus
Shuttle buses run to the venue from 4 stations (shuttle bus reservations may be required, so check the official website before you visit).
| Line | Station | Travel Time to Venue |

From Major Cities in Japan
If you're traveling from another part of Japan, take the Shinkansen or a flight to Shin-Yokohama Station or Yokohama Station, then follow the routes above.
| From | Transport | Time to Shin-Yokohama / Yokohama (approx.) | Cost one way (approx.) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tokyo | JR Tokaido / Yokosuka Line | ~25–30 min | ¥480 |
| Nagoya | Tokaido Shinkansen (Nozomi) | ~1 hr 20 min | ~¥11,000 |
| Osaka | Tokaido Shinkansen (Nozomi) | ~2 hr 10 min | ~¥14,500 |

※ Shinkansen prices are based on standard reserved seat fares. Flight prices vary depending on when you book, the airline, and any discounts.
※ Times above are to Shin-Yokohama or Yokohama Station only. You will still need a shuttle bus from there to the venue.
For Travelers from Osaka / Nagoya
Take the Tokaido Shinkansen "Nozomi" to Shin-Yokohama Station. From there, follow the route above (JR Yokohama Line → Toka-ichiba → shuttle bus). For opening day or weekend visits, booking an early-morning Shinkansen is the safest move.
For Travelers from Fukuoka / Sapporo (or via flight)
A flight to Haneda is the practical choice. Lock in flights early — both the cost and timing benefit from advance booking.
