Hotels in Inuyama

For a taste of Japan's feudal past, look to Inuyama. This compact city on the Kiso River is home to Inuyama Castle, one of only twelve original castles in the country. Its wooden keep, perched on a hill, offers views over the river and the historic cormorant fishing that takes place on summer evenings. Just a short walk away, the Urakuen Garden and the teahouse within provide a serene counterpoint, while the nearby Meiji Mura museum transports you to a different era with its collection of preserved Meiji-period buildings.

Inuyama is ideal for history enthusiasts and couples looking for a quiet cultural getaway, easily done as a day trip or a relaxed overnight stay from Nagoya. The area around Inuyama Station and the castle is the most convenient base, with good bus connections to all the major sites. The city is well-connected, served by the Meitetsu Line from Nagoya Station, making it very accessible without a car.

Accommodation here is mostly comfortable mid-range business hotels and a few traditional ryokan inns, perfect for soaking in the local atmosphere. On HOTEVI, you can find options like the Hotel Crown Hills Inuyama for straightforward comfort, the riverside Inuyama International Hotel, the budget-friendly Route Inn Grantia near the station, or the more traditional Ryokan Meiryu for an authentic Japanese stay.
