With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up all that Hamamatsu, 16 miles away, has to offer. Soichiro Honda Craftsmanship Center should be high up on your list here. Futamata Castle and Tobayama Park are fantastic attractions too. Situated 17 miles away, Fukuroi is another popular tourist destination. If you swing by, be sure to check out Stadium Ecopa, Kakegawa Castle and Ecopa Arena.
