Satsumasendai has so much to offer. You could hang out for a while here and not run out of things to do. If you want to experience as much as possible in this energetic metropolis, you’ll need a rental car. Keep in mind that driving in big cities often goes hand in hand with tight streets and sparse parking spaces. Don’t stress though, because a compact or an economy car will make this much easier to navigate. If you’re going to leave the city behind you and check out the bays that Satsumasendai is known for, you’ll probably prefer a vehicle with more power. A mid-size or full-size SUV will get you around comfortably.
