Japan, Lighter than Ever
At APPI Resort, the ride is all about the glide. One of Japan’s largest resorts, Appi delivers wide-open terrain and an impressive 1,110+ cm of snowfall. Set in Iwate Prefecture, its unique climate creates phenomenal powder – light, silky, and famously known as “Aspirin snow.” Paired with refined comforts, from soothing onsen to diverse gourmet dining, every lap strikes a balance of nature, culture, and flow.

Aspirin Snow
Appi’s powder earns its nickname for being incredibly fine and dry – perfect for effortless turns and deep days in the white room.
Endless Lines
Yamabato is Japan’s longest run at 5.5 km, weaving down from Mt. Maemori for one continuous, beautiful descent.
Flavors of Iwate
Savor Maezawa beef, fresh Sanriku seafood, and creative local cuisine at Appi’s acclaimed restaurants – each a reflection of the region’s bounty.
Local Hack
After the slopes, unwind in Shirakaba no Yu, one of Tohoku’s largest open-air baths, surrounded by forest. The onsen’s clear, mineral-rich water restores tired legs and softens winter skin.
