The greatest part about renting a car is that you can go anywhere, anytime. Make the most of your newfound freedom by experiencing all there is on offer in Izumo. It’s just 25 miles away. Among your first stops here should be Izumo Taisha, Shimane Museum of Ancient Izumo and Shimane Winery. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Kurayoshi, 30 miles away. If you only see one thing here, let it be Tottori Nijisseiki Pear Museum. (But we’re also huge fans of Yumeikan and Inubasari Road Station.)
