Appi Kogen Mori No Hotel

A very cute cabin in the woods, about 3-5 minutes drive from the ski resort. If you drive, I recommend this hotel. It may not be very convenient if you don't have a car. The hotel has 2 private hot springs that can be reserved, so you can go there when no one is using them. It is a very special experience to soak in the hot springs in the snow.

It's about a 5-minute drive from the ski resort. The service staff are very friendly. Tell the service staff the departure and return time and they will prepare free pick-up. The hot springs are great ~ There are public and private bathhouses (private bathhouses need to be registered based on the usage of the day, and if you are lucky you can almost always use them) The bathhouse includes (face wash, makeup removal, lotion, emulsion, hair care liquid all provide very good products, and are also kept very clean and tidy) The restaurant food is also very delicious (reservation is required two days in advance) About 4500 yen/person Stayed here for 8 days and it really felt like home I highly recommend this accommodation to friends who come to Appi for skiing Great value for money!

Good value for money, dinner is Tazawa beef shabu shabu

The annual ski vacation will be held at the Appi Plateau this time. Since hotels in the ski resort are more expensive, I checked into a hotel with a hot spring nearby to try out. The hotel will arrange a free pick-up and drop-off service at JR. The staff is polite and helpful, great! Accommodation includes two meals, and breakfast is the same set plus a small amount of self-service food every day. Dinner is shabu shabu, charcoal-roasted beef, and sukiyaki, which take turns. The beef is Tazawa beef. Personally, I don’t think the meat quality is 10% outstanding, but it’s acceptable. There is a hot spring in the hotel, and there are two private baths with good facilities. The only less than ideal thing is that the location is far away. If you don't drive the car yourself, you have to take the shuttle bus arranged by the hotel to the ski resort. The daily breakfast time, dinner time, and shuttle bus time need to be prepared and arranged in advance, so you cannot freely and easily decide when to eat, when to go to the ski resort, and when to return every day.

Before staying at this hotel, I stayed at the Crown Hotel in Ambi Ski Resort for five days. Later, when Crown ran out of room, we booked this nearby hotel. The room is very big and clean, the facilities are very new, and the view outside the window is beautiful. Except for convenience, everything else beats Crown. But please note that you must not lose the room key. If you lose it, you will have to replace the entire set of locks and you will be compensated 100,000 yen. Breakfast has few varieties but is filling. We rented a car and drove to the ski resort, which was very convenient. I will stay here again next time I come to Ambi for skiing!
