Narita International Airport is Japan’s primary gateway to the world, and the need for a hotel nearby is not uncommon, as many travelers choose to stay a night near the airport at the beginning or end of their Japan trip. Tokyo is a bit of a trek, so coming the day before your departure to stay in Narita City is actually a great idea! Narita is also home to the historic Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple and old Omotesando temple road, making it great for some convenient sightseeing too. Regardless of your needs, know that there are many great hotel options, and we have four for you here.
A magnificent inn, styled like a traditional Japanese inn “ryokan”, but with a modern elegance that both relaxes and excites. Located within the historic Monzen district that surrounds one of Japan’s most famous temples, Naritasan Shinsho-ji, this is a perfect first destination for a luxurious experience of traditional Japan.
This inn features Kabuki-inspired displays and props, and many chances to learn about this fascinating theatrical style. Guided tours of the nearby historic district are also available, and the cuisine here brings you some of the best Japan has to offer.

This hotel provides guests with a chance to experience an authentic stay in a Japanese inn even if they’re only in Japan for a day or two. Close to Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple and surrounded by the classic Monzenmachi townscape, you’ll feel like you’re back in the Japanese renaissance.
The rooms are classic Japanese style, but with all the amenities you’ll need to be comfortable. While the bath is not a natural hot spring, the hotel uses a unique combination of natural minerals called komeiseki to soak in the water, creating the same healing and nourishing effect as a natural spring. You’ll also be treated to delicious spreads of Japanese foods, along with the most prized local dish of unagi, Japanese freshwater eel.
Omikawa-tei stands apart from many of the other airport-area lodgings by offering a stay in a truly authentic Japanese countryside setting. The “-tei” suffix in Omikawa-tei means “residence” and that’s exactly what you’ll find here: A traditional kominka Japanese homestead for you and your party to have all to yourselves, just a 20-minute drive from Narita Airport.
The house itself has over 150 years of history, having undergone renovations that preserved an aesthetic shaped by the surrounding community’s legacy as an area where wealthy farming families resided. There are two bedrooms inside; one with two single beds and one with a double bed, all of which feature Simmons mattresses. For those who prefer to sleep in the customary Japanese style, guests can utilize four futon mattresses, which are meant to be laid on the floor of the tatami room. A renovated storehouse on the property has been repurposed as a multi-purpose space, functioning as a theater room, yoga studio (mats provided) or kids’ play area. Another unique feature is the outdoor rotenburo open-air bath. The stone tub is perched up on the hillside behind the house, and offers a view of the idyllic rural landscape below.
This is a hotel providing more modern accommodation, and it’s conveniently located beside Keisei-Narita Station. The rooms are of various sizes and luxuriousness, and the plans range from basic packages with no included meals, or plans including breakfast as well as your choice of one of Chiba’s famous souvenir treats. Suite rooms and Japanese style rooms with tatami flooring are also available, and the hotel has dining bars, Japanese-style restaurants, and banquet halls to suit your needs.
Being near Keisei Narita Station, you’ll have various options for an outing, including a movie theater, shopping mall, and even an outlet center a few stations away in Shisui. Furthermore, Naritasan Shinsho-ji Temple is very close, and the Monzenmachi district around it is considered one of the best “classic” townscapes in the Tokyo-area. For a convenient stay with modern luxuries, and easy access to restaurants, shops, and sightseeing, Welco is your best choice!

International Resort Hotel Yurakujo, an all-inclusive resort hotel, is thoroughly adorned with Japanese style amenities and designs all over the expansive facilities. While there’s a shuttle bus to take you to Narita Station, many find themselves spending all their time within the resort, enjoying sports facilities, relaxing in the hot springs and pool, eating, shopping, and much more.
The rooms themselves are luxurious, outfitted with Western-style beds, and stylishly decorated with warm colors. A major appeal for visitors here beyond the rooms however, is the separate hot spring facility “Yurakujo” which is set up to resemble a classic Japanese town, making it another world within the resort. Bathe, play, dine at one of the many restaurants, and take a shuttle bus directly to and from the airport during your full package stay at the International Resort Hotel Yurakujo.
