Appi is the most famous of the 3 resorts (that I visited) in Iwate being the only resort I had already heard of but was still yet to visit. The 2-hour shinkansen ride will get you most of the way there, with a direct bus to the main hotel or a local train from Morioka station. Appi is bigger than Shizukuishi, with several accommodations, onsens and a ski school that offers in-resort and backcountry guiding. I skied with a local guide, Saito-san, who knew the best, untouched locations that would otherwise be hidden.
