GETTING THERE
Nearest Airports
Approximate planning ranges; allow extra time for traffic and winter conditions.
Morioka is a useful rail gateway. The winter local bus to APPI and the hotel-guests-only charter are separate services with different booking rules. By local train, Appi Kogen station is separate from the ski base; check the onward area shuttle.
For airport transfers, check eligibility and reservations with your chosen hotel. Hotels, the Resort Centre and the pension village have different stops, so match the journey to your accommodation. Drivers should arrange suitable snow tires or chains and allow for winter road conditions.
