With some awesome road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Nasushiobara, 16 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Nasu Highland Park, Senbonmatsu Ranch and Mikaeri Waterfall. Situated 17 miles away, Sakura is another place to aim for. If you swing by, be sure to check out Murasakizuka Golf Club, Utsunomiya Garden Golf Club and Renkoin Temple.
