With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up all that Hayami District, 25 miles away, has to offer. Among your first stops here ought to be Harmony Land, Hiji Castle and Oita Trappist Monastery. Situated 45 miles away, Fukuoka is another place to aim for. If you swing by, don’t miss Ohori Park, Tochoji Temple and PayPay Dome.
