With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Tsuwano, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Road Station Tsuwanoonsen Nagominosato, Tsuwano Catholic Church and Tsuwano Castle. Locals will also probably point you toward Hiroshima, 40 miles away. If you can only find time for one attraction here, let it be Hiroshima Green Arena. (But we’re also huge fans of Mazda Zoom-Zoom Stadium and Mazda Museum.)
