You’ll want to check out nearby Takachiho. What’s 19 miles when you have a set of wheels? The drive itself is half the fun! See the sights beginning with Takachiho Gorge, Takachiho Shrine and Takachiho-kyō. Located 20 miles away, Kikuchi is another place to aim for. If you swing by, make sure you check out Kikuchi Onsen, Kyokushi village Fureai Center and Kikuchi Castle.
