The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Really good Onsen Experience

I had the best time at the onsen! It offered both indoor and outdoor soaking tubs, providing a stunning view of the snowfall. After a long day of skiing, this was the perfect way to relax and soothe my muscles. The cleanliness and modern amenities made it a standout feature of my stay.

Skiing Paradise

Skiing at Lotte Arai was an unbelievable experience! The snow quality was really good, with no queues for the lifts. I loved that I could ski right from my door. The long runs, although not too many, provided thrilling challenges and lovely views.

Satisfying Dining Options

While dining at the resort, I was particularly impressed by the Korean restaurant. Each meal was flavorful and satisfying. The buffet for breakfast also had a decent variety to fuel my skiing adventures. Although some dining options were pricey, the quality made it worth it.

The resort has a stunning castle-like appearance and large, comfortable family rooms. The skiing experience is fantastic with great powder, and the onsen is a highlight. However, the dining options are uninspiring and transportation to nearby attractions could be improved. Overall, it offers good value for those looking for family skiing, but food and transport need attention.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. The skiing experience was fantastic, especially after fresh snowfall, and the facilities are modern and enjoyable. However, the service was lacking, and the overall dining options left much to be desired. Overall, while there are excellent amenities, the resort could improve its food quality and service experience significantly.

7.0/10

Overall, my experience at Lotte Arai was a bit of a mixed bag. The skiing is fantastic for experts, especially in tree runs, but the limited terrain and early lift closures were disappointing. The resort itself is luxurious, with spacious and clean rooms, and the onsen facilities were a perfect way to unwind after skiing. However, it's quite remote, lacking the authentic Japanese cultural experiences found in other regions. I'd consider returning, but my wife, a beginner, would not share the same enthusiasm.

Rooms

Staying at Lotte Arai Resort was an unforgettable experience for our family. The hotel itself is stunning, with spacious and comfortable rooms. However, the dining options left something to be desired, with a limited menu at the restaurants. We thoroughly enjoyed the swimming pool and the fantastic onsen facilities. Overall, it’s a great place for families, but I wish there were more frequent shuttles to the nearby village for dining out.

We had an amazing time skiing for the first time, with gorgeous accommodations and scenic walking trails nearby. While the food was a bit pricey, we enjoyed the indoor activities available for the kids. However, there were some frustrating experiences with long wait times for the gondola and mediocre food quality. Overall, it was a memorable family trip, and we can't wait to return!
