Experience of the stay
There is a shuttle service between Appi Kogen Station and Appi Kogen Ski Resort, taking only a few minutes to reach the ski area.
The banquet room, which has space for courier services and luggage storage, also features about four changing areas with curtains, making it convenient for packing after checkout.
The free welcome drink corner was great, offering not just tea, black tea, and coffee, but also hot lemon and yuzu.
The hot springs were fantastic, with large public baths and two reservation-only outdoor baths.
Since there are no eating places nearby, I added breakfast and dinner for 6600 yen (the price at that time). The daily specials included shabu-shabu, sukiyaki, and grilled meat, so it would repeat if you stayed more than four nights.
Experiences during the trip
On the first and second days, I visited Appi Kogen Ski Resort.
For lunch, I enjoyed Pizza-la, curry with naan, and Morioka ramen at the food court. The spinach and chicken curry was delicious and not spicy at all.
On the last day, I went to the nearby Shimokura Ski Resort with a friend's car. Since it was a weekday, it was not crowded, and the beautifully groomed slopes were amazing. Although there is a shuttle bus to Panorama Ski Resort, I didn't have time to go this time. The lift tickets are interchangeable.
After skiing, I went to Pyon Pyon Sha, near Morioka Station, to have Morioka ramen. You can order kimchi on a separate plate. This place seems famous in Morioka.
