  • Late-night snack included

    We stayed with No Meals Included, but we were able to enjoy complimentary late-night ochazuke. The broth was rich and very delicious. There were three of us, and since the washing area for the private open-air bath was a separate shower booth, we ended up taking turns one by one. However, the Onsen itself and the mist shower were both very pleasant.Next time, we’d like to stay again with meals included!

  • It was a calm, relax...

    It was a calm, relaxing place in a quiet villa area. The bath had a strong disinfectant smell, but it was nice that we could reserve it for private use. The Room was clean, and the all-you-can-drink beverages in the lobby were a great touch—Calpis was nicely strong too. Dinner was shabu-shabu, and I was happy to get more Maezawa beef than expected. It was very delicious. All the staff were pleasant, and I thought the female staff member’s nails at check-in were stylish.

Morden Hot Springs

A rare natural hot spring, “Molden-no-Yu” — skin-beautifying Onsen × Maezawa Beef sourced directly from master butcher “Ogata Farm”

Appi Kogen Mori no Hotel is dedicated to two signature offerings: the rare, free-flowing hot spring source “Molden-no-Yu,” found only in The whole country, and the culinary masterpiece of premium Maezawa Beef. Our private source “Molden-no-Yu” is an exceptionally rare Onsen that springs from a natural mordenite zeolite stratum in the Hosono area of Ashiro Town, Iwate Prefecture. Simply soaking helps wash away oils and secretions from the skin, and thanks to its outstanding beautifying effects, it is known as the “Beauty Bath” and the “Rejuvenation Bath.” All Maezawa Beef served at our Hotel is purchased directly and exclusively from Gyusho Ogata Farm. We source only carefully selected cattle raised with meticulous attention to bloodlines and husbandry to produce superior meat quality and fat marbling. This commitment comes from one simple wish: for our guests to truly enjoy delicious Maezawa Beef. Experience producer-direct value that you simply won’t find in major cities. Savor our silky, richly textured water that leaves your skin feeling smooth, along with the mellow flavor of Maezawa Beef that spreads gently across your palate—all amid the abundant nature of Appi Kogen.

Morden Hot Springs

Miracle Onsen for Beautiful Skin

Our private hot spring source, “Molden no Yu,” is a rare Onsen in The whole country, flowing from the Molden zeolite bedrock layer in the Hosono area of Ashiro Town, Iwate Prefecture. Simply soaking helps wash away skin oils and secretions, and its outstanding beautifying effects have earned it the names “Hot Spring of Beauty” and “Rejuvenating Hot Spring.” With a lotion-like silky texture, the water leaves your skin smoother with every touch, and its gentle feel is wonderfully addictive. Enjoy this precious spring alongside the seasonal scenery throughout the year.

Maezawa Beef

All courses feature Maezawa Beef.

For dinner, we offer creative Japanese cuisine featuring the best of local seasonal ingredients. As the main dish, every course includes Iwate Prefecture’s renowned brand beef, “Maesawa Beef.” Savor its exceptional texture and rich flavor—worthy of being called an “artwork of taste”—through our course menu. — Our Commitment to “Maesawa Beef” — All “Maesawa Beef” served at our property is sourced directly and exclusively from Ogata Farm, a master producer. We purchase in bulk from this farm, which handles only carefully selected cattle with meticulous attention to bloodline and raising methods to achieve superior meat quality and fat balance. This is our unwavering commitment, driven solely by the desire for our guests to enjoy truly delicious Maesawa Beef. Experience the outstanding value that can only be found at the place of production—something rarely possible in major cities.
