We know you want to see what your new ride can do. How about venturing out on a day trip to Teshikaga? Just 25 miles away, roll down your windows and enjoy the wind in your hair on the drive there. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Mashu Hot Spring, Kussharo-ko and Mount Io. The locals will also likely point you in the direction of Kamishihoro, 50 miles away. If you can only find time for one thing here, let it be Lake Nukabira. (But we’d also highly recommend Nukabira Ski Resort and Taushubetsu Bridge.)
