About this spot
Lotte Arai Resort, in Myoko City, Niigata Prefecture, is a mountain resort that blends superb powder snow with a luxurious stay. In winter, its biggest attractions are snowfall among the top in Japan and the largest ungroomed area in the country. The courses, which make the most of the rolling terrain of Mt. Omokunai, delight everyone from powder freaks to families. In the green season, activities that let you enjoy nature with all five senses are plentiful, such as the "Zip Tour," among Japan's longest, and the "Tree Adventure," which takes you through the forest. After playing, head to the "Hoshizora Onsen" (Starry Sky Hot Spring), whose water gushes from 1,750 m underground. The open-air bath and sauna under a sky full of stars offer a blissful detox time. The accommodations have an elegant atmosphere reminiscent of European mansions, with restaurants and cafes as well. For a girls' trip with friends, a family trip, or an anniversary with someone special, it is a special spot that promises a quality holiday all year round.
