With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Minamiuonuma-gun, 16 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here should be Kagura Ski Resort, Iwappara Ski Resort and Kandatsu Kogen Ski Resort. Don’t skip Minakami either! Just 25 miles away, Ski Resort Minakami Norn, Mable Village Rock Heart Castle and Hoshi Onsen Chōjukan are non-negotiable stops here.
