Appi, a pension located in the Appi Highlands, is my favorite place. Pension Arla Wakka. Dinner was also very delicious. I chose this pension because I could stay with my dog. The room was clean and I was satisfied. It was very convenient and close to the hot springs at the nearby Appi Kogen Hotel.I have been to Appi many times.This was my first time staying at this pension, and it was a very nice place.

Breakfast and dinner were great! You can enjoy the journey with your dog. We stayed in a room on the first floor, which had a slightly musty smell, but the bathroom was very clean. You can take a walk with your dog on the surrounding grass, which is very nice

I used it in the fall. The area from the entrance to the front desk feels a little old, but when I entered the room it was clean. There are two small hot springs near the room. Both breakfast and dinner are quite delicious! ! The timing of the owner's cooking is excellent and I have no complaints! ! At check-out, they gave us sweets as a gift and it was a great hospitality. There are some pensions around, but I feel like this one has a lot of parking based on the menu.Speaking of greed, it was a great pension without any complaints as long as you replaced the hot water in the bathtub and in front of the stairs at the entrance on time! ! I will come back to stay again! ! I recommend this place! ! There's a Lawson nearby, but there's nothing around, so you might need to do some shopping.

I stayed here for 2 nights with my mother and child in December 2022. The food, service, and room were great! Especially the food was really delicious. I also have a lot of manga, and my parents and I read them a lot. The location was less than 5 minutes from the ski resort, and there were no other customers, so I was able to pick up and drop off at the time I requested. I would like to stay here again when I go to Appi!
