Hi there

 

Great to find this place and join in. I have never been to Japan yet but hoping to this winter.

 

I have friends going to Niseko and other places in Hokkaido but I know someone who lives in Morioka and I am thinking of going with a few other adventurous friends to that area and maybe try Shizukuishi and Appi Kogen. The only thing really holding me back I suppose is that the places are a bit more spread out and it will need more planning.

 

Anyone on here from around that region?

There are many ski jos in and around Iwate. Appi is big but boring. Hire a car and ther are about 20 places to go for a day trip. Driving in Tohoku is easy as long as you don`t mind snow. There will be plenty of that.

The question is ---- how north do we go?!


It's about 3-3 1/2 hours from me. Probably much less from Zao because you are straight onto the expressway whereas I have to cross into Miyagi by slow road. Then a blast north up the Tohoku expressway.

I think Iwate is worth the trip. There are a lot of places in easy reach of Shizukuishi.
