We only stayed one day, I wished we had stayed at least one more. The staff was very kind and agreed to store our luggage on check-out day so that we could go to Geibikei gorge hassle-free. Geibikei is an easy 15-minute stroll from the guest house.

Appikogen Pension Mutti 2 stars

Hachimantai

Only a 5-minute drive from Appi Kogen Ski Resort, Appikogen Pension Mutti offers accommodations with free Wi-Fi. Guests can relax in the 24-hour operated shared open-air bath. A free shuttle is available from Appi Kogen Train Station, which is a 5-minute drive away and must be reserved at time of booking. If the highest score is 10 I would rank Pension Mutti 9.9 — as no one would be 100% perfect :) I checked in at Pension Mutti a week ago and stayed for 3 nights, I would say Kayoko, the hostess and her entire family, were one of the most kind families I have ever met before. I didn’t book dinner when I made the reservation from Beijing, because I was thinking maybe I could try different restaurants but I was totally wrong, as the Appi Kogen skiing area is more of countryside without restaurants or shops in city area. But Kayoko figured out to get me the dinner arrangement eventually which I appreciated soooo much. And when I saw and tasted the breakfast and dinner provided, I was shocked as at this price, in Beijing, it won’t be cheaper than 30usd per meal - in New York it would cost +80usd or higher. The taste and the presentation of the meals were just at fine dining level no mention the ingredient were all from local and fresh. Kayoko also drove me ( and other travelers) to the ski resort ever morning and picked us up in the afternoon, and drove me to the train station in early morning. I can’t say anything unsatisfied me esp at the price charged to me, and I appreciated her and her family very much. I definitely have recommended Pension Mutti to my friends and I expect to visit the cozy place again.

Pension Sanrinsha 2 stars
