One of the largest ski resorts in the Tohoku region, famous for its dry “Appi Powder” snow and long runs.
Appi Kogen is located in Hachimantai City. Its ski slopes stretch along both sides of Mount Appi and Maeno-yama, with more than 20 runs, the longest about 5.5 km. The snow is dry and fine, known as “Appi Powder,” and the resort suits skiers of all levels. The resort includes large hotels, hot springs and restaurants.
