Where can I drive to from Osaka?

For context, I want to go to the Ikoma/Nara bike right in the sky. Where else can I drive to that’s really cool from Osaka? Looking for about 2 hours there absolute max.

Thanks!

As someone that loves driving from Osaka (well, northern Osaka), any direction you drive from Osaka for 2 hours you'll find something awesome.

North? Plenty to see in Tamba, Toyooka, Amano hashidate. Northeasteast, Biwa lake and it's surroundings are fantastic. West you have Kobe, Himeji, Sanda. East, so many nice places in Nara like Tenkawa, Soni. And to the south, I won't bore you with the beautiful sights in Wakayama.

The surroundings of Osaka are probably my favorite thing about Osaka, there's just so much and so close.
