Airport to JR Nagoya train or bus?

Meitetsu:
850 + 350 yen, 28-37 minutes (special car)
850 yen, 37-46 minutes (commuter car)

Bus:
1000 yen, 60 minutes (traffic permitting)
You can choose which side of JR Nagoya to get to.  If boarding the Shinkansen
from Nagoya, take the bus for "JR Nagoya Shinkansen", operated by JR Tokai Bus.

This is a special through train jointly operated by JR Central and Aikan.

Nagoya - Kanayama - <JR> - Kouzouji - <Aikan> - Expo Yakusa

The name 'Aichi Kanjou' suggests a loop line, but in reality it is only one
quarter or so of a full circle.  Kouzouji is the nortwest end, Okazaki the
southeast end.  Probably the trains from Okazaki will be less crowded than
the through runs from Nagoya, but getting to Okazaki is a wide detour from
Centrair.  Meitetsu Higashi-Okazaki is quite far from JR Okazaki.
