With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to soak up everything that Otawara, 17 miles away, has to offer. See the sights starting with Bato Onsen-kyo, Unganji Temple and Nasu Yoichi no Sato Road Station. Located 25 miles away, Sakura is another popular tourist destination. If you visit, make sure you check out Murasakizuka Golf Club, Utsunomiya Garden Golf Club and Renkoin Temple.
