Beautiful resort, incredibly friendly staff, great restaurant options and incredible skiing 2 minutes away. We stayed 6 nights and enjoyed every single minute of it. The only restaurant I couldn’t recommend is the shabu-shabu restaurant as the portions were small and not much flavour for the money. Well kept rooms, ski/ board storage was great and the onsen was one of the best I’ve visited in Japan.

Second visit to Arai. Snow was brilliant! Lifts are great compared to the older and more tired resorts like Akakura Onsen. My issue this visit is many facilities were closed. Bakery Cafe, Convenience Store, Asahi Restaurant we closed the entire time or for half our visit. The Plate was also feeling tired in terms of quality compared to our 2024 visit. Rooms and service are great. transfer excellent. Those issues made the great time more bland.

Great enjoyable stay

Our second time after 5 years and it’s still as well maintained. We stayed on the lodge/ club side and enjoyed the views from our room. The bar is a favorite, and Japanese restaurant as well. Can skip breakfast if not a big eater- bakery seemed nice. Didn’t enjoy the Korean restaurant as much. Skiing was great! We were lucky to get one day of powder! Ask for Kim in ski school.

Nice property!

A very comfortable stay for us on a road trip. The property is located in the mountains, about 30-45 minutes to the coastline where all the actions are. Rooms were very clean and spacious. We had rooms that overlook the ski lifts. We went during the quiet season so there was limited dining options. It is a huge property with lots of attractions and we could imagine the buzz in the peak seasons. There was no air-conditioning in the rooms during our stay but the staff brought in electric fans which did the job. A nice stay after all.

A+++++ powder skiing & beautiful onsen

The Lotte Arai is the best hotel for skiing and onsen. Super soft endless powder snow on the gorgeous mountain hills and the slopes were adventurous and super exciting. The expert++ slopes can be another surplus if you are expert level. The onsen is luxury level. Sitting in the hotel water with snow falling on your head, especially at Lotte's well groomed onsen is unforgettable. The food at the hotel is not luxury level and limited as the location is all on its own with the city being 20-30 mins drive away from the site. One snowy evening when the Japanese, steak house, and Thai restaurant was full we drove out in the heavy snow to a slightly city area and found a local restaurant reccomending their stove rice pot, it became my top 3 best restaurant in Japan. I would reccomend driving out for food there was also a great Yakiniku not far away too.

Not impressed

Check in was a lengthy process. We found that they could not seem to locate our bags and ski equipment that we sent ahead. They seemed disorganized and confused. Other guests in the lounge areas, dining room and onsen were very loud. Overall not very relaxing. The skiing was not great, as it was so warm, the conditions were bad. The food in the breakfast bugfet was good, but the non Japanese items on the dinner menu were not executed very well. Fairly tasteless yoshoku choices.

The Lotte Arai Resort exceeded all of our expectations on our recent 2 day getaway to the mountains. We only learned about this resort because it was affiliated with the Ikon pass, but we will certainly return for our next snow adventure in Japan. The location was beautiful and less than 2 hours from Tokyo by shinkansen. There was a convenient hotel shuttle that provided door to door service from Joetsumyoko station to the hotel. The check in process was flawless. We stayed on the 5th floor of the Lodge building in the most spacious hotel room I've ever encountered in Japan. The beds were extremely comfortable and the room conveniently connected to our kids room next door. Restaurant reservations were a snap to get online. The Japanese restaurant AKIRA had both an extensive Japanese buffet for breakfast and a tasty local set menu for dinner. Restaurant HA NOI was fine but not up to US standards for Vietnamese food. The ski/snowboard rental process was quick and easy. We were able to reserve snowboard lessons online without difficulty, and our friends were able to join the group lesson with only 1 days prior notice. The Village Station food court had modern Japanese standard fare that hit the spot after a busy morning on the slopes. There were so many other nice details provided at Lotte including: the Christmas Market where we had a nice Irish Coffee, the Christmas Cake, the pool table and darts, and best of all, the Onsen.

Dinner restaurants are limited, get booked out quickly. Staff were not very helpful. Shuttle buses to other ski areas were not available during the whole time that we were there and there was no alternative offered. It seemed that they are not very helpful to offer alternative whenever something is not available, eg restaurant or shuttle buses services. Drinks are very expensive including soft drinks. $11 aud for a soft drink.
