Asama Memorial Museum

Once home to motorcycle hillclimb races, the picturesque Asama hill is a sacred place for local motorsport enthusiasts. For many years the Asama Volcano Museum had a hall devoted to historical racing bikes. In 2020 it was closed. A year later the Memorial Museum was relocated and reopened on the site of the Asama Ranch Shop.
