Tarui垂井町
Spend a half‑day in Tarui to see the historic post‑town and spring; add a night only if you want a relaxed bike ride or local food.
Tarui is a small town on the Tokaido Main Line with a few historic sites (Tarui‑juku, Takenaka Jinya, Nangu Shrine) and a famous spring. It is reachable by train in 30‑45 min from Maibara and by car on Route 21. Walking or renting a bike lets you hit the main sights in 3‑4 hours, so a half‑day is enough; a night adds flexibility for a leisurely bike tour or dinner at the local pizzeria.
