With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much more difficult to enjoy all that Nishiiwai-gun, 30 miles away, has to offer. Among your first few stops here ought to be Chuson-ji Temple, Motsu-Ji Temple and Golden Hall. Located 35 miles away, Ichinoseki is another popular option. If you swing by, don’t miss Former Numata Family Samurai Residence, Geibikei and Folk Culture Museum of Liquor.
