Be sure to have a full tank of gas, because Nagoya is worth making a detour for. Located 40 miles from Meiwa, it offers up a few fabulous attractions, such as Nagoya Dome and Port of Nagoya Aquarium. Nothing says living big like a road trip does, so keep on driving to Nara. It’s 45 miles away and also features a few attractive sights, such as Nara Park and Yakushi-ji Temple.
