Event

This year, Appi Kogen will be facing its 42nd winter in operation. What a year it’s been! Appi was featured in this year’s World Ski Awards, winning the “Japan’s Best Ski Resort 2022” award. Not only that, but their ANA Intercontinental Appi Kogen Resort won the 2022 World Luxury Hotel Award, especially impressive considering it only just opened its doors in February.

With the world’s attention on it, Appi invites you to come spend New Years and the 2022-2023 ski season with them!

Appi Kogen Ski Resort – Home to Class-Leading Snow Quality, “Miraculous Powder Snow”

Similar to Aspen in Colorado and Arlberg in Austria, Appi Kogen is located along the northern 40-degree latitude, where the climate is particularly favorable towards dry powder from December all the way until April.

To help you enjoy that snow to the fullest, Appi has constructed a world-class ski infrastructure! They have 21 different courses ranging in length and difficulty so that everyone from beginners to veterans can have a great time skiing and snowboarding. And to get you up those slopes, not only is their Sailer Quad Lift the longest in Japan, but their Vista quad lift is the second longest!
