We know you can’t wait to test out your new wheels. How about taking a day trip out to Kaminoyama? Just 18 miles away, roll down those windows and let the wind rustle your hair on the way there. Zao Hot Springs Ski Resort, Zao Sanroku Ropeway and Zao Chuo Ropeway alone justify the drive out here. Situated 25 miles away, Tsuruoka is another popular destination. If you visit, don’t miss Shonai Shrine, Tsuruoka Park and Dainichibo Temple.
