With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to enjoy all that Kagoshima, 16 miles away, has to offer. Kagoshima Arena should be at the top of your list here. Kagoshima City Aquarium and Amu Plaza Kagoshima are must-see attractions too. Don’t forget about Nishimorokata either! Just 25 miles away, Kasumi Shrine, Ojibaru Park and Sano Shrine are essential stops here.
