About Inuyama

Set in the northwest of Aichi, Inuyama is an intriguing city for culture aficionados to discover. With a range of ancient shrines, a fascinating historic castle and an array of boutiques, cafes and eateries, visitors will find no shortage of things to see and do in the city. Choose from simple, self-catering stays or luxurious heritage inns; the best places to stay in Inuyama await.

Built in the shadow of Inuyama Castle on the Kiso River, the city’s old town is an appealing place for a stroll. The Castle itself is a highlight; one of the oldest fortresses in Japan, it offers striking views and an intriguing insight into the region’s heritage. The Urakuen Japanese Garden, nearby, is home to Jo-an — reputedly one of the three finest tea houses in Japan. When it comes to culture, the Mejimura Museum, too, is brilliant, as are the Former Isobe's House, the Daisyoji Temple and the Oagata Shrine. Families will adore the Little World Museum of Man, the Japan Monkey Park and the Japan Monkey Centre.

Take boat trips on the Kiso River, enjoy scenic walks along its shores in the spring and autumn and soak up views of Inuyama Castle from one of the best places to stay in Inuyama.
