We know you’re eager to take your new wheels for a spin. How about heading out on a day trip to Shimogo? Just 17 miles away, roll down those windows and feel the breeze in your hair on the drive there. Among the first stops you make here ought to be Ouchi-juku View Point, Yunokami Onsen and Ouchi-juku. Locals will also likely point you in the direction of Kitashiobara, 25 miles away. If you can only see one thing here, let it be Urabandai Nekoma Ski Area. (But we’d also highly recommend Akimoto Lake and Urabandai Ski Area.)
