Located in Niigata Prefecture, Lotte Arai is a boutique resort set amidst a scenic mountain landscape just two hours from Tokyo by Hokuriku Shinkansen. While small at just over 500 acres of skiable terrain, Lotte Arai enjoys a great accumulation of dry, powder snowfall and views to the ocean on a clear day. The resort has 15 ski courses and first-class leisure activities, including eight off-piste areas of ungroomed snow, spas, pools, restaurants, cafes, and a 1501 metre zipline tour – the longest in Asia.
