We have booked a block of rooms at Hotel Sunroute Nara (choose Kinki -> Nara on the web site), which is a western-style hotel within a walking distance to the MOL 12 venue. These rooms are available to MOL 12 registered participants on a first-come first-served basis. If you would like to stay at this hotel, please check the appropriate boxes on the registration form. We only take reservation requests until the early bird registration deadline, July 8.
Below we list a number of hotels we are aware of from which the conference venue can be reached relatively easily. The locations of the hotels as well as the conference venue are marked in the following map. The quality of these hotels varies greatly. We encourage you to take a look at the web sites of the hotels for more information.
Since Nara is a popular tourist destination, some of these hotels may get booked up rather quickly. We advise you to reserve your hotel room early.
The information on this page may not be fully up to date. Please check with the individual hotels when you make your reservation.
