What other travelers are saying about Appi Kogen Ski Resort
One of my favorite places to ski/snowboard in Japan. Not crowded most of the times and many options on the slopes for different levels and skills. facilites are nice with plenty of options for food. Hotel, rentals , food, toilets and all in one place. Surroundings is very quiet but great to rest after 🏂 session. Might not be your place if you’re looking for nightlife.
One of the largest and more well known ski resorts in the Tohoku area. It features a big variety of slopes for every skill level. The slopes were well prepared and not crowded. The area also offers several tree run courses for people who like to ski/snowboard outside of prepared slopes. Rental equipment is available and the area also offers several places to eat.
APPI Kogen Ski Resort is great, but the slopes are a bit too challenging. I nearly gave myself a heart attack — felt like I was racing to the bottom of the mountain!
Awesome resort! I rented my gear through appi and it was quick efficient and not too expensive. Pass is slightly more expensive than other ski spots nearby but this resort is awesome! There is a beginners area that’s a great place to learn and the gondola is really nice. Employees are nice. Food is good. They have decent gift shops and a spot to buy snowboards and skis and accessories.
Appi is expensive compared to other Iwate ski fields.
But it's also exceptional!
Fantastic runs and nice facilities. Electronic RFID cards for lift passes etc.
Even a gondola right to the top with a long beginner trail all the way down so even families with kids can do the whole mountain in one glorious go.
