Introducing Asahidake Onsen
This cosy, forested, hot-springs resort consists of some 10 small inns at the foot of Asahi-dake. At the end of the road, Asahidake ropeway (cable car; 68-9111; www.asahidakeropeway.com; one way/return Jul–mid-Oct ¥1500/2800, mid-Oct–Jun ¥1000/1800) runs to within easy hiking distance of the peak. Though Asahidake Onsen is not overdeveloped, it can become quite crowded, particularly during autumn when the leaves begin to change colour. An onsen map is available at the ropeway, listing the locations, prices and hours of the various baths.
