AOMORI SPRING RESORT
Hokkaido
The Mountain
Aomori Spring Resort is located in Aomori prefecture, which in the most northern prefecture on the main island of Honshu. It is 921 metre high offering stunning views of the Tsugaru Plain and the Sea of Japan. With world-class dry powder snow conditions, wide groomed trails which extend over 3.5km in length and drop 545 vertical metres, and a number of steep off-piste pitches, there is plenty of terrain to keep your whole family satisfied. For freestyle skiers and boarders, facilities include an Olympic-sized 22 foot halfpipe, the largest in Japan, and a terrain park. Its no coincidence Aomori Spring Resort is the training ground for Olympic gold medalist Ayumu Hirano. You can even enjoy a bowel of ramen while watching the skiers and snowboarders challenege themselves in the halfpipe. Backcountry skiers will fall in love with the almost endless supply of pristine powder snow that Aomori has to offer.
Where to stay
Rockwood Hotel & Spa is a convenient ski in & out hotel with all the features you need for a seamless snow trip. The best option is a full package that includes your stay, lift tickets, breakfast & dinner. For lunch the resort has a small food court and there is an excellent ramen bar at the base of the half pipe. Other features include an indoor & outdoor Onsen, gym, pool room and tabel tennis.

We had a great time at both Appi and Aomori Springs.
Appi had great piste skiing and good powder on a couple of mornings. Not deep but great quality. Found old ski lift lines and on a windy day, untracked snow under a lift that couldn’t run because of wind at top. Loved the outside Onsen! Great coffee opposite the gondola base. The hotel was fine, pretty busy meal times but plenty of foods to choose from.
Aomori had more tree skiing and so many pistes with lovely snow on the edges. Loved the Ramen house for lunch. Just had to pick a less popular time.Your transport help was perfect. Hotel was fine, food very adequate with less variety but good quality!
Cheers

We had another very enjoyable visit at Rockwood. The meals, friendly staff just added to our lovely stay. The snow was great. Easy access to meals on the slope as well. Thanks for all your help in organising.

Rockwood resort Hotel was a great resort in many ways. It would be perfect for those who don’t want to leave a location for shopping or go to a different restaurant every lunchtime or want to wander around a city at endless streets looking at local culture and building etc - because that’s not an option here. However, if you want to stay at a great location with great atmosphere and fantastic rooms (top level rooms) views along with a satisfying sense of calm and relaxation- Rockwood is the place to go
The meals were surprising with a lot of variety and options, even for those who are not adventurous with their eating - there was plenty choices.
Of course this experience was only made possible with your help and assistance- thanks for also organising transfers, shuttles and other info - much appreciated.

We enjoyed Aomori Springs Rockwood again the resort and Hotel again very comfortable enjoyed skiing there as much as last time
The food was very pared back from last time but still good (I guess COVID has affected Japan much the same as Australia in that everyone has to tighten there purse strings so they can stay in business)
We will be looking at staying again next year so again let us know when the deals are out
Thank you again
looking forward to hearing from you later in the year
Kind regards Kay ,Robert, April and Tim

We booked a 7 night package at Rockwood Hotel & Spa in Aomori.
Firstly, it absolutely dumped snow for the 7 nights were were there and we had the best snow of our lives.
We caught the shinkansen to Aomori and the local trains to Ajigasawa and then a taxi to Rockwood. But, on the way home we just caught a taxi direct to Aomori Station, which was much easier and worth the extra cost. JSA booked the taxi for us and our driver was waiting for us at the train sation. Some other people didnt have a taxi booked and were stuck at the train station, so I reccomend booking the taxi. The hotel booked our return taxi.
The hotel itself is very spacious and has a clean minimilistic Japanese design. Everywhere you go you seem to have an amazing view of the mountains. I felt it had a younger more casual atmosphere. This is the home mountain of Olympic half pipe gold medalist Ayumu Hirano and there is a massive half pipe & big snow park. The Japanese junior snowboarding team were staying at the hotel & training while we were there and they were going pretty big in the half pipe.
Facilities wise there there is an amazing outdoor onsen, pool table and table tennis table, but to be honest all we did was snowboard, eat and sleep.
The room itself was a standard size with 2 single beds and a couple of chairs by the window to enjoy the amazing view. But, it had the same clean design as the rest of the hotel. No complaints.
We had the buffet breakfast and dinner included in our package. Compared with Appi & Shizukuishi Rockwood had the best buffet. They even had sushi. The design of the restaurant was also very stylish and comfortable.
As for the mountain there there seemed to be a lack of steep runs. A lot of core snowboarders and skiers hiking off piste with guides. So. if you are an advanced level this would be what you come for. Not sure on the resort policy on this. But, if you are an intermediate or beginner I think this would be a great resort as there are so many runs to suit you.
Another thing I noticed was a lot of Americans in big groups. I think they were on guided tours and generally going off piste.
The hotel staff are very relaxed and friendly, but they didn't speak a lot of English.
Aomori was great and I definately go back.

I organised a 7 day trip Australia to Aomori Springs though Japan Snow Accommodation.
We have been skiing Japan for a few years now and I can say that Aomori Springs gets enormous amounts of snow. It snows a lot here even compared to Hokkaido. The sun came out only on our last day which is perfect for people who love to ski or snowboard. There are no lift ques and no waiting for anything. It is a beginners mountain with a real hardcore back country. It is ski in ski out of the hotel.
The Rockwood is very nice and the only close accommodation to the mountain which includes a buffet breakfast and dinner in their packages. The food was very good with a mixture of Japanese and western. The rooms are great with self-contained bathrooms and are a good size for Japanese hotels. Just note the WiFi is bit slow, maybe bring a Sim card and a hard drive with movies as there is only 6 Japanese TV channels. But who comes to watch TV? The indoor/ outdoor onsen is great, especially if you like it hot.
The staff at the hotel, like all Japanese, are very friendly and polite. We would definitely recommend Japan Snow Accommodation and Aomori Springs to people thinking of travelling to Japan. Thanks again Hisae.
Kind regards,
Scott Barber

We had an amazing time staying at Rookwood Hotel.
Our western rooms were very comfortable and the meals were amazing, with a wide variety of western and Asian food. Both breakfast and dinner were buffet style. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We utilised the shuttle service from Aomori station and again to Ajigasawa station at the end of our trip.
Aomori Springs ski area had a great range of runs which would suit every level of skier. We were lucky enough to find fresh snow on a number of days during our stay. The ski in/ ski out location of the hotel was fantastic and we also utilised the ski waxing within the hotel which was very convenient.
Would highly recommend staying here and for those who love back country skiing there is also the opportunity to experience it also at Aomori Springs.

Thanks again.

We loved Rockwood Hotel & Spa. The service was fantastic, and we really appreciated the transfers from the train station and to the airport. We loved the layout of the resort - it was quick and easy to get around and the views were spectacular. The accommodation was great as well as the food at the hotel and the daily onsen was absolutely necessary. We'll be back again and hope to explore even more of the mountain then (some areas were not opened up).
Thanks
