With some terrific road trip options available in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense.

Nabematsubara Beach and Rengein Tanjoji Temple are must-see attractions too. Shimabara is another popular destination. It’s 18 miles away and boasts an array of fun things to do. Shimabara Castle, Unzen-Amakusa National Park and Shimabara Sports Park are just the start.
