I took 2 trains to get here, the very fast express Kintetsu line to Kintetsu-Tomida where I changed to the also very fast but very rattly Sangi line. Be aware the Sangi line is cash only paper ticket. It is particularly tricky because it leaves from inside the Kintetsu line station area which is IC compatible, and there is no English signage explaining this. I was caught out last time. The fact that it is still does not accept IC card and their only other line is being upgraded to do so soon tells me that this line will soon be shut down, so check if it is still running before you rely on it.
Also there is a 7-eleven near Kintetsu-Tomida station, about 10 minutes walk, so if you time your transfer you can go to it, but there is no shop of any kind at Nishi-Fujiwara station, so plan ahead. Probably best to carry everything with you from Nagoya.
