Owani Onsen Ski Resort

If you've stayed at an APA hotel before then you know what to expect (ie. small room, big TV), so I'll just skip to what stood out to me during this trip. **Positives: *Front desk was exceptionally helpful during check-in, streamlining the process. *Electrical outlets on either side of the bed kept me from running a power cable across the bed diagonally or sleeping at an angle, or something goofy like that. *The AC was highly effective, which is always welcome. When it's July, I'd rather have it get a bit chilly than be stuck somewhere where it's too warm. *I plugged my Switch in the TV and played it with no issues. *The bathroom was comfortable, the shower was nice. *A self-serve mini-conbini in the lobby, like at the Ayase location in Tokyo! Fun. I didn't use it, but had a stayed longer, I may have. **Neutral: *I only stayed here a single night so I didn't look into the laundry or vending machine offerings. **Negatives: *This was a REALLY narrow room; I basically sidled in-between the desk and the bed. It made doing Fitness Boxing 3 pretty awkward, but I managed.

It’s located rather remote. It’s a hot spring hotel than your usual hotel. You may have to settle your meals in the hotel as travelling out is just too far away. However it’s a different experience to immerse in the country side though….

Close to ASPAM, the tourist center. Also close to the station and the main shopping street.
