HOTELS IN MOTEGI AND AROUND

Here are some general hotel options in Motegi and surrounding towns that you can select from, catering to various preferences and budgets:

Staying near the circuit

• Proximity to the circuit: Staying close to the Motegi circuit offers the convenience of being near the action, reducing travel time on race days.
• Limited options: The accommodation options directly around the circuit are limited. You may find small inns, guesthouses, or camping facilities, but these can be booked quickly, especially during major events like MotoGP.
• Recommendations: If you prefer staying as close as possible to the track, it’s essential to book your stay well in advance. Some options might include local ryokans (traditional Japanese inns) or camping areas that the circuit may set up during the event.

Staying in Utsunomiya

• Larger City with More Options: Utsunomiya, located about 45-60 minutes from the Mobility Resort Motegi by car, is a popular choice for accommodation due to its wider range of hotels, restaurants, and amenities.
