Asahidake Activities
The visitors centre at Asahidake is just before the ropeway station, but it is more geared up to provide information to hikers during the summer months. They can provide advice regarding activities around Asahidake, but these are quite limited.
Ski Related Activities
Beautifully groomed cross country (or snow shoe) trails extend into the picturesque forest directly across the road from the hostel.
Relaxation Activities
We visited a couple of onsens in the Asahidake village to relieve our weary legs at the end of the day. One outdoor onsen (rotemburo) was at Lodge Nutapukaushipe which was very well decked out and in a very pretty setting. Unfortunately it was really busy with lots of Japanese, and that much staring at our naked bodies was difficult to take!
Our preferred option was the onsen at the youth hostel which wasn’t as flash, but was picturesque, authentic and more relaxed. Opening hours are 13:00 to 20:00 at a cost of ¥500.
See our
Japanese onsen etiquette page for information on what to do when using an onsen.
