With some terrific day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to explore all that Komatsu, 19 miles away, has to offer. Motorcar Museum of Japan ought to be at the top of your list here. Kibagata Park and Yunokuni no Mori are must-see attractions too. Don’t miss Ono-gun either! Just 20 miles away, Shirakawago Hirase Onsen, Shirakawago Historic Village and Kanda-ke are non-negotiable stops here.
