IwateAppi Kogen Ski Resort

Appi has a ton of variety when it comes to food and Pashupati - the Indian restaurant is one of the most popular. This is the butter chicken curry set with extra Seekh Kebabs. After 3 weeks in Japan it was a welcome change for my Asian tastebuds. The food wasn't very spicy but you can add extra chilli powder to increase the heat.

There is an remote controlled car track to keep kids entertained in the Plaza building in case they have had enough of skiiing.

Nice to see Hakata style ramen in the food court. This is a bowl of extra soft mochibuta tonkatsu char siu ramen from Umeya. The broth had what looks like added back fat and was very hearty and super tasty.

The award wining Maezawa Beef Premium beef curry from the food court. Apparently sold the most plates in 2024. Beef was very tender and the curry had a rich taste.

The Crayon Shinchan outdoor area has its own snow escalators for kids taking their first steps on snow.

The Crayon Shinchan indoor ski area and day care. This is where the very little kids go to learn how to ski without having to get cold.

Woke up to some freshies at Appi and got covered in aspirin snow. 💊❄️
