The Inuyama Youth Hostel (http://web.kyoto-inet.or....) 162-1, Himuro, Tsugao, Inuyama, Aichi, 484-0091. Tel: 0568- 61- 1111 is a pretty fair walk from everything - starting from Inuyama station, visitors should walk along the river in the opposite direction from Inuyama castle. After 25 lonely minutes, turn right at the first stop-light, and head up the mountain until you reach the Youth Hostel. However, visitors will be rewarded with clean, modern rooms and a friendly staff. Hot baths and showers are available, as are breakfast and supper albeit with an early cut-off time. Private rooms are available at prices more typical of dormitories ¥3700 for an adult.
Minshuku Yayoi is on a side street close to the station. It has a rather small capacity, though, and the staff can be less than helpful. Rooms are ¥6000 per person, and meals are available.
