With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to soak up all that Naoshima, 16 miles away, has to offer. Explore the area starting with Benesse House, Uno Port and Naoshima Ferry Terminal. Situated 20 miles away, Miyoshi is another popular destination. If you stop by, be sure to check out Oboke Gorge, Urinating Boy of Iya Ravine and Chiiori.
