Traditional bathhouses like Asama Onsen Kaikan offer authentic soaking experiences, and walking paths wind through otherworldly steam vents near the cultural landmark of Asama Shrine. Traditional kaiseki dining features seasonal mountain vegetables and river fish, primarily at ryokans where meals come with your stay.
