Payment

Note that most procedures at the immigration bureau require a fee, and all fees have to be paid via postage revenue stamps -- not in actual cash -- which can be picked up at any post office.

Luckily, the Nagoya bureau has a window within the building where you can buy postage cash stamps, so you don't have to worry about picking these up in advance.

Directions

By Train

First, get yourself from Mie to Nagoya Station via either Kintetsu or JR.

At Nagoya Station, transfer to the Aonami Line (あおなみ線) and ride it to Nagoya Keibajō-mae (名古屋競馬場前) Station. This trip on the Aonami Line will take 13 minutes and cost ¥260 one-way. Trains leave every 15 minutes (every 10 minutes during morning rush hour).

The immigration bureau has its name proudly displayed on the side of the building and can be seen from the train. It is just a few minute walk east of Nagoya Keibajō-mae Station. The building has a Lawson in it, which also sells necessary tax stamps for immigration related processing.
