TRAVEL | ANA InterContinental Appi Kogen Resort
A premier resort where sophisticated hospitality meets the allure of Appi Kogen.
ANA InterContinental Appi Kogen Resort, bearing the name of "InterContinental® Hotels & Resorts," a pioneer in international luxury travel, opened its doors on February 25, 2022. With a comprehensive range of facilities including 38 rooms in 7 types, restaurants, a bar, a club lounge, hot spring public baths, a spa, and a fitness gym, coupled with sophisticated hospitality and local culinary culture, this premier luxury resort in Tohoku offers an experience of true bliss.
Direct Access to the Slopes of Appi Kogen Ski Resort, Renowned for its "Miracle Silky Snow"
Appi Kogen offers pristine nature, from its snow-covered slopes in winter, famed for "miracle silky snow," and the snowy landscapes of Appi and Hachimantai, to its verdant highlands and birch forests in summer. ANA InterContinental Appi Kogen Resort, in harmony with this natural splendor, provides a sense of comfort as if embraced by nature itself. Its direct access to the Appi Kogen Ski Resort slopes is another significant draw.
The design concept for all 38 rooms across 7 types is "Unity with Appi's Nature." The rooms offer luxurious views of the snow-covered slopes and the elegant natural scenery of Appi and Hachimantai. The interior color palettes, symbolizing Appi's nature through the seasons, are designed to evoke a connection with the surrounding mountains. The bathrooms feature large windows overlooking the slopes, providing a sensation akin to bathing outdoors while indoors. Traditional Japanese paper, which appears like clouds or snow depending on the time of day, adorns the headboards of the beds, adding subtle touches that enhance the experience of a highland resort.
Furthermore, the "Presidential Suite," a maisonette spanning over 300 square meters, represents the pinnacle of luxury within the resort. It features a living and dining area with a large corner sofa and a dining table capable of hosting up to 10 guests for meals, a private elevator, a kitchen, a viewing terrace, a study area, and a minimalist space ideal for meditation or yoga, offering an unparalleled experience.
The Club Lounge offers light meals and drinks throughout the day, from breakfast to afternoon tea and evening cocktails. During cocktail hour, guests can savor finger foods featuring local ingredients, such as "Hachimantai Cold-Pressed Spinach and Potato Canapés" and "Hachimantai Mushroom and Japanese Walnut Canapés."
The Japanese and French restaurant "SHIRATSUYU" serves dinner, lunch, and a breakfast buffet. With a "Farm to Table" concept, it offers creative dishes that fuse regional cuisine with Western culinary techniques, utilizing select ingredients from Mutsu and seafood from Sanriku. Main dish options include Sanriku abalone and scallops, Maesawa beef, and Appi Kogen Takumi's Prime Pork®, promising a unique gastronomic journey.
The resort also boasts facilities for complete relaxation of mind and body, including the intimate, authentic bar "MOCCO," a rooftop view terrace overlooking the mountains of Appi and Hachimantai, the hot spring public baths "IWA" and "HIBA" with rock and cypress baths respectively, the "LAVILLA SPA APPI," and a 24-hour fitness gym.
Appi Kogen Resort offers an experience that truly caters to every need. Why not indulge in a luxurious time amidst the great outdoors?
