A nice set-up for a ski-in/ski-out resort. My kids also had great lessons with an English instructor. Getting to Appi Kogen was also quite easy with the buses from Morioka Station. We were also bumped up to a larger room, which was very comfortable, especially by Japanese standards. That was also great. However…..
The only drawback was the very limited food options, especially for dinner with young kids, who don’t eat very much anyway. We live in Japan, so we’re accustomed to Japanese portions, local izakayas, bentos, etc. But this was challenging. It was either spend 20,000¥-30,000¥ for a mediocre buffet, where the kids just wanted a few bites of the simplest food. Or a yakiniku restaurant that would’ve been 30,000¥ - 40,000¥ for a family of 4. High-end sushi spot that would’ve been even more pricey. (The room service menu is quite sad, and again would be close to 20,000¥)
Or, you’re left with getting instant Nissin ramen cups at the convene, which is what we ended up doing the last night. (Breakfast, again, pay steep prices at the buffet, or wait till the bakery opens at the comically late hour of 10:00am, when you of course want to be on the slopes.)
Anyway, I’d suggest packing some of your own bentos, or be prepared to pay. ¥¥¥¥¥¥

This was our last stop on a 4 week snowboarding trip in Japan. The hotel was the nicest of the 4 other places we stayed but it’s a pretty crowded place, the hotel and the mountain. APPI is a great mountain but it’s pretty busy (for Japan standards) and also very exposed to the wind. We were there for 1 week and all but lower lifts were closed 2 times due to high winds and the gondola operated on and off 2 other times. Great place, just not for us

Lovely experience except for the breakfast arrangement - child breakfast was not included even though full breakfast was mentioned.
