Cheap accommodation in Appi Kogen

[Slagfart 0]

Hey cold boyz/gurlz,

 

I'm trying to find accommodation in Appi. I've dug up the Pension Village, except from what I can see, nowhere will do a single bed for less than 8,000 yen a night.

 

Am I missing something? Even in Niseko I found a reasonable bed for about 5000. Can anyone recommend anything?

 

THANKS!

Did you try the SJ listed places. They seem very reasonable

I don't know if you have tried Pension Mutti listed on our Places to Stay section....

 

Would obviously be nice to have more of a selection there!

Thanks.

Sorry! It is the official website of Appi Kogen though - thought it would be ok...

 

Never again!

Yes sadly - Mutti will only do 2-people to a room. For a poor lonely lad, we're talking having to pay for both beds.

 

Anyone want to share? I don't smell too badly. Also lil miss slagfart exists - no touchy!

Thanks slagfart, no worries.

I hope you can find somewhere.... never been up there myself.

I've seen some nice tree runs at Appi, I'd like to get up there myself one of these days.

Fair call! I'm taking the train up from Tokyo to Sapporo, and I'm doing a couple of days at Zao. From what I've read, Appi seems better than Zao in most respects.

 

Is there somewhere better in the area? I've got almost 50 days, so I'm hitting, in order, Hakuba, Myoko, Zao, Appi, Hakkoda (1 day), Furano, Kiroro, Rusutsu, Niseko. It's sorta like a big path, and I'm solo after Myoko and before Niseko.

 

So - should I go somewhere else? Shizukuishi is in the same direction as Appi, but I've read that it gets icy - yuck!

Zao easy beats Appi.

Wow that is ambitious. For me, that would be over kill. But hey, do it while you're young.

I only note this because you have struck out with the SJ listings, but it looks like Appi runs free shuttle buses from Morioka and Sendai, so maybe you could get a cheap business hotel in one of those cities?

How about hitting somewhere in Fukushima before Zao?

Just to say you did it.
