With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to explore everything that Tokushima, 16 miles away, has to offer. Awa Odori Kaikan should be at the top of your to-do list here. Komatsu Beach and Tokushima Castle are awesome attractions too. Miyoshi is another great option. It’s 30 miles away and boasts a variety of interesting things to see and do. Oboke Gorge, Urinating Boy of Iya Ravine and Chiiori are just the start.
