With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Komatsu, 19 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Motorcar Museum of Japan, Kibagata Park and Yunokuni no Mori. Don’t skip Ono-gun either! Just 20 miles away, Shirakawago Hirase Onsen, Shirakawago Historic Village and Kanda-ke are must-sees here.
