Revitalization Plan for Asama Onsen Koyanagi. The revitalization plan for Koyanagi, a long-established ryokan in Asama Onsen, which began in the spring of 2018, is considered a new way for the ryokan to become a cultural complex centered on "books" while retaining the town's 300+-year-old hot-spring bathhouse. The wooden onsen town of the past has been transformed over time into a Showa-era ryokan town with a series of concrete buildings, and the existence of the traditional public bathhouse and community is fading away.
