Grab your suitcase, stroll out of Memanbetsu Airport (MMB), and pick up your rental car. Which one you jump into depends on where you’re headed. If you’ll be spending most of your time driving in downtown Kitami, around 22 miles from the terminal, consider something zippy and small. A compact car that’s easy to operate will suit those bustling city streets. But with a smorgasbord of things to see, like the splendid bays of the region, you may want to add some pit stops. A larger vehicle, like a full-size car or an SUV, will make lengthier road trips more comfortable.
