The beauty of having your own ride is that you can travel anywhere, anytime. Make full use of your freedom by exploring all there is on offer in Kikuchi. It’s just 16 miles away. Kikuchi Onsen ought to be at the top of your list here. Kyokushi village Fureai Center and Kikuchi Castle are awesome attractions too. The locals will also probably point you toward Aso, 20 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Mount Aso. (But we’re also big fans of Cuddly Dominion and Aso Shrine.)
