Villas in Iwate Prefecture, Japan

"It's about a 5-minute drive from Appi Kogen Ski Resort. There were nine parking spaces, but in reality, only three were covered in snow. The entire facility is heated through floor heating, making it very warm. It was so warm that I struggled to adjust the temperature. The only amenities provided were towels; toothbrushes and other amenities were not provided. All the necessary cooking utensils and tableware were provided, so you could cook. There were condiments and expired food left behind by previous guests in the refrigerator. There was no dishwasher, toaster, or coffee pot, so it would be especially nice if there was one. Also, it was so warm that we frequently encountered stink bugs and other insects, even in the middle of winter... Since it was a private rental, it was great to have a large group of people and have fun without worrying about others."
