Lotte Arai Ski Resort

Formerly known as Arai Mountain Resort and Spa, Arai Resort closed in 2006. After a complete transformation and redevelopment, the revitalised resort was brand new for the 2017-18 season. With plans to become the best ski resort in Asia, Arai Resort promises some exciting times ahead. Located on Honshu, Japan’s main island in the Niigata prefecture, it receives an overwhelming amount of snow annually.

Together with its abundance of snow, wide open bowls and superb mountain facilities, it makes for a great resort, particularly for intermediate skiers and snowboarders.

Arai Village Facts

While Arai does not have a village, the existing hotels offer enough restaurants. If you are looking for more to do outside of skiing, Arai is not going to provide that.
