Book Miyako hotels

Miyako's hotel options are certainly nothing to write home about, but there's no need to panic, lastminute.co.nz lists 3 other options, all within an easy drive from central Miyako.

The Kyukamura Rikuchu-Miyako, Tohoku, which is the closest accommodation, is 20 kilometres from downtown Miyako. Alternatively, check out the The Park Hotel Jodogahama, located in Tohoku, which is 18 kilometres away.

17 kilometres from the main part of Miyako is the Hotel Route-Inn Miyako.

After you've really explored Miyako, why don't you explore a little more of the area? The Tohoku area has many other scenic and cultural delights waiting to be explored. Enjoy Tohoku's forests, lakes and mountains. If the great outdoors are not your cup of tea, head to a selection of the area's ruins and castles. In this part of Japan, travellers might also partake in snowboarding, skiing and tobogganing.

Don't shoot through before you have checked out the Iwate-koen and Morioka Handi-Works Square in Morioka. The Daiwa Roynet Hotel Morioka and Hotel Route-Inn Morioka Ekimae are just some of the short and long-stay alternatives in Morioka. Or, you could stay in Hachinohe, 100 kilometres to the north of Miyako, where you can choose from the Hotel Route-Inn Honhachinohe Ekimae and APA Hotel Honhachinohe. The Kabushima Shrine and Nejo Castle are just some of the more popular places to see when you're in Hachinohe.

For those flying, Misawa Ab Airport is the preferred air gateway for Miyako. Not far away is the Hotel Route-Inn Misawa.
