Asahhidake Onsen (旭岳温泉) is a small village in the Taisetsuzan National Park, Hokkaido, Japan. The village consists of a few hotels and a youth hostel, but is a popular base for hikers in the national park, and for tourists using the ropeway (cable car) to climb Asahidake, Hokkaido's highest peak. It is a hot springs resort, with only a dozen or so buildings. The nearby ropeway costs 1800 or 2800 yen, depending on the time of year. Hiking opportunities in the area range from 30 - 60 minute walks all the way up to 1 or 2 day tours of the area's mountains. The area is volcanic, and evidence of such activity is plentiful.
