With some awesome day trip options in the surrounding area, having your own car makes sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to enjoy all that Hitoyoshi, 17 miles away, has to offer. Among the first stops you make here should be Aoi Aso Shrine, Kamata Brewery and Eikokuji. Located 25 miles away, Nishimorokata is another popular destination. If you swing by, don’t miss Kasumi Shrine, Ojibaru Park and Sano Shrine.
