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 explore all that Koya, 50 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights starting with Mount Koyasan, Kongobuji Temple and Okunoin. Don’t skip Tenkawa either! Just 50 miles away, Tenkawa Daibenzai Tensha, Tenkawamura Dorogawa Eco Museum and Dorogawa Onsen are essential stops here.
