Food was very good and the pension was warm and cozy. Our room was spacious enough and had a wonderful view of sunrise and even part of Mt Iwaki. Our room package came with daily breakfast and dinner. We felt we were staying with good friends and every dinner was pleasantly spent with Sato san, Nora san and fellow guests. Bon-chan was a delightful addition to the experience too. Sato san and Kazu san took turns to send or pick us to and from the APPI Plaza, which was only about 3 minutes' drive away. Sato san has a cool style, and is a creative person who cooks very well too. His pension has touches of his art and his philosophy of life is beautful. I highly recommend this pension to anyone who wants to ski at APPI Kogen. We rented his ski gear which were of good quality but at a fraction of the price at the APPI Plaza rental place. ##### Kok Ngai Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### Michael Jan 28, 2026 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities Clean room, friendly staff, prompt pickup and delivery service to/from the slopes. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/2c7e0075-57b4-4de4-957a-fa93b8547fe4-1769644456302.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Michael Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2026 ### 8/10 Good #### Scott Jan 10, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Food was excellent room was satisfactory, parking was super convenient and access to the ski area is quick with a car.

It was an excellent change of pace from camping/hiking, was definitely needed. We just so happened to find the perfect place for it. The room was two twins with its own bathroom and refrigerator. It was very clean and the beds were comfortable. We opted for the Breakfast and Dinner which we do not regret as the meals were delicious. The owners and staff were all extremely friendly and understanding especially with our skoshi Japanese speaking abilities. We would definitely recommend and would indeed stay again. ##### Sara Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 4/10 Poor #### Lai Ping Stella Jan 3, 2024 Disliked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Too small room to stay! Our purpose for this trip was for ski and we stayed 8 days at Life is beautiful. The room is very small with a small toilet and very small sink where we can only sit on the edge of tub to brush teeth & wash face and our body was all wet! The owner of this hostel provided 8 sets of towel & teeth brush in the room at one time. Everyday we are having the same breakfast without any changed. I will not recommend you to stay here! ##### Lai Ping Stella Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ryan Feb 23, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I had a great experience here! I chose to stay here because it was close to Appi and was priced better than any of the surrounding hotels and came with dinner and breakfast. I highly recommend paying the little extra for the meals. They were fantastic. Just what I needed after a long day. The rooms are quite cozy and the beds are very also comfortable. I plan on staying here next time I go to Appi Kogen. ##### Ryan Stayed 1 night in Feb 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Daisuke Dec 14, 2025 ##### Daisuke Stayed 1 night in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### CHUAN YI May 19, 2024 ##### CHUAN YI Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Mar 11, 2022 ##### Jason Stayed 1 night in Mar 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jun 21, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2018 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Twisted oaks forest cottage, Squaw Valley california ](https://www.expedia.ca/Twisted-Oaks-Forest-Cottage.h92077998.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Senhora da Rocha Beach](https://www.expedia.ca/Senhora-Da-Rocha-Beach-Hotels.0-l6118652-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Hotels in Brioux-sur-Boutonne](https://www.expedia.ca/Brioux-Sur-Boutonne-Hotels.d3000394139.Travel-Guide-Hotels) > > [Ecovergel Santa Lucia](https://www.expedia.ca/Monterrey-Hotels-Ecovergel-Santa-Lucia.h100104147.Hotel-Information) > > [Business Hotels in Stratford-upon-Avon](https://www.expedia.ca/Stratford-Upon-Avon-Hotels-Business-Hotel.0-0-d5703-tBusinessHotel.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [C&D Resort Wuyishan](https://www.expedia.ca/Nanping-Hotels-CD-Resort-Wuyishan.h20483200.Hotel-Information) > > [Bishop Apartments](https://www.expedia.ca/Brno-Hotels-Bishop-Apartments.h20845038.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotels near Pontocho Alley](https://www.expedia.ca/Pontocho-Alley-Hotels.0-l6160578-0.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [Cheap Hotels in Santa Monica](https://www.expedia.ca/Santa-Monica-Hotels-Cheap-Hotels.0-0-d3220-tCheapHotels.Travel-Guide-Filter-Hotels) > > [The Trouville](https://www.expedia.ca/Torquay-Hotels-The-Trouville.h11900188.Hotel-Information) > > [Motels Stoneham](https://www.expedia.ca/Stoneham-Motels.d162713-aaMotels.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) > > [Country Houses Winchester](https://www.expedia.ca/Winchester-Country-House.d5477-aaCountryHouse.Travel-Guide-Accommodation) ### Flights > [WestJet Calgary (YYC) to SeaTac (SEA) flights](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flight-routes/westjet-from-calgary-intl-to-seattle-tacoma-intl/ws/yyc/sea) > > [Flights from Calgary (YYC) to Goffs (YHZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyc/yhz/calgary-to-halifax) > > [Flights from Mississauga (YYZ) to New Delhi (DEL)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/yyz/del/toronto-to-delhi) > > [Flights from Kelowna (YLW) to Tajiri (KIX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ylw/kix/kelowna-to-osaka) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Niederanven (LUX)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/lux/winnipeg-to-luxembourg) > > [Flights from Winnipeg (YWG) to Brandon (YBR)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ywg/ybr/winnipeg-to-brandon) > > [Flights from New Delhi (DEL) to Almaty (ALA)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/del/ala/delhi-to-almaty) > > [Karthago Airlines](https://www.expedia.ca/Rutaca-Flights.c5R.Travel-Guide-Airlines) > > [Flights from Castlegar (YCG) to Sidney (YYJ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/ycg/yyj/castlegar-to-victoria) > > [Flights from Monroe (MLU) to Mississauga (YYZ)](https://www.expedia.ca/lp/flights/mlu/yyz/monroe-to-toronto) ### Cars ### Activities > [Things to do in Riyadh](https://www.expedia.ca/Things-To-Do-In-Riyadh.d3051.Travel-Guide-Activities) ### General > [Visit Steinhausen](https://www.expedia.ca/Munich-Steinhausen.dx553248635213119969) > > [Visit Cathedral City](https://www.expedia.ca/Cathedral-City.dx6789)
