Don’t just drive from point A to point B. Get more out of your rental car by making a pit stop at Nara. Just 45 miles from Taki, it features excellent attractions like Nara Park and Yakushi-ji Temple. Nagoya, 50 miles away, is another road-trip destination that’s worth the trek. Swing by Nagoya Dome and Port of Nagoya Aquarium, two must-see sights in the area.
