With some terrific day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy everything that Kofu, 16 miles away, has to offer. Hottarakashi Onsen Hot Spring should be at the top of your to-do list here. Yamanashi Fuehukigawa Fruit Park and Takeda Shrine are awesome attractions too. Don’t miss Nishiyatsushiro-gun either! Just 20 miles away, Lake Motosuko, Ina Tobu Showa and Sunfood Japan Sakaigawa Factory are must-sees here.
