With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience all that Tateshina, 55 miles away, has to offer. See the best sights beginning with Shirakaba Highland Internationale Ski Area, Megami Lake and Tateshina Gosensui Shizenen. Don’t skip Nagiso either! Just 17 miles away, Tsumago Honjin, Tsumago-juku and Momosuke Bridge are must-sees here.
