With some great day trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore everything that Wajima, 20 miles away, has to offer. Wajima Morning Market should be at the top of your list here. Wajima Urushi Art Museum and Sodegahama Beach are terrific attractions too. Nanao is another popular destination. It’s 35 miles away and boasts tons of fun things to do. Notojima Aquarium, Notojima Bridge and Michi-no-Eki Noto Shokusai Market are only the start.
