Frequently asked questions

What are the major attractions in Kitakami?
If your trip to Kitakami is all locked in but your itinerary is looking a little empty, we can give you a helping hand.If you believe there's nothing more exciting than visiting new places, make sure you stop by Kiyomizu-dera Temple. Takamura Kotaro Museum is another rewarding attraction to check out.
What are the best road trip destinations near Kitakami?
We know you can't wait to take your new ride for a spin. How about taking a day trip out to Nishiiwai-gun? Just 25 miles away, roll down your windows and feel the breeze in your hair on the drive there. Explore the area starting with Chuson-ji Temple, Motsu-Ji Temple and Golden Hall. Locals will also probably point you in the direction of Yokote, 25 miles away. If you can only see one attraction here, make sure it's Yokote Castle. (But we're also big fans of Kamakaura Museum and Akita Furusatomura.)
Where are the best beaches near Kitakami?
Drop the car windows and inhale the cool, salty sea air as you journey towards English Beach. 9 miles from Kitakami, it's an awesome place to go for a lazy day out by the water.
What kind of rental car should I get for Kitakami?
Sure, you can make your way around Kitakami without renting a car. But with loads to check out here, having one would certainly make life easier. If you'd like to get out of town and on the open road, book a set of wheels with some power. A larger car like an SUV will take you to the surrounding bays in roomy style. Planning to spend the majority of your time in the city? A smaller car like a mini or compact is a wise choice. Maneuvering around busy streets and squeezing into tight parking lots will be less hassle with one of these.

Otherwise, if you're just after a car to get you around town at the cheapest price possible, you're better off choosing a versatile compact vehicle (or something else that won't burn a hole in your wallet).
