Kitaakita Holiday Rentals

"Room was clean, although it did smell of smoke. This was my problem, as I booked a smoking room. Smorgasbord breakfast and dinner were fabulous - so much variety. Onsen was clean and not too busy, with pools of differing heat"

"The hotel check-in area was a bit difficult to find and we were also unsure where to park. Luckily a staff member was in the carpark and showed us where to go. Directions of when we could enter or leave the carpark were very confusing The room was clean and staff very friendly. Could open the window for fresh air. Breakfast was free, but pretty basic."

"The room was excellent! The space was ample and views amazing, the elevators are fast and it’s close to EVERYTHING in Hirosaki! "

"The coin laundry service was easy to operate. Room & toilet was very clean"

"It was a very relaxing stay. Thank you"

"A nice set-up for a ski-in/ski-out resort. My kids also had great lessons with an English instructor. Getting to Appi Kogen was also quite easy with the buses from Morioka Station. We were also bumped up to a larger room, which was very comfortable, especially by Japanese standards. That was also great. However….. The only drawback was the very limited food options, especially for dinner with young kids, who don’t eat very much anyway. We live in Japan, so we’re accustomed to Japanese portions, local izakayas, bentos, etc. But this was challenging. It was either spend 20,000¥-30,000¥ for a mediocre buffet, where the kids just wanted a few bites of the simplest food. Or a yakiniku restaurant that would’ve been 30,000¥ - 40,000¥ for a family of 4. High-end sushi spot that would’ve been even more pricey. (The room service menu is quite sad, and again would be close to 20,000¥) Or, you’re left with getting instant Nissin ramen cups at the convene, which is what we ended up doing the last night. (Breakfast, again, pay steep prices at the buffet, or wait till the bakery opens at the comically late hour of 10:00am, when you of course want to be on the slopes.) Anyway, I’d suggest packing some of your own bentos, or be prepared to pay. ¥¥¥¥¥¥"
