With some great road trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to soak up everything that Asahikawa, 17 miles away, has to offer. Soak up the sights beginning with Asahiyama Zoo, Asahikawa City Museum and Tokiwa Park. Situated 40 miles away, Kamifurano is another popular tourist destination. If you stop by, don’t miss Blue Pond, Farm Tomita and Shirokane Hot Spring.
