Japan Bestseller: Award-Winning Ski Escape Two Hours from Tokyo with Lift Pass & Onsen Access

Plant your poles at Lotte Arai, a multi-award-winning ski-in, ski-out gem nestled in Myoko, just two hours from Tokyo by bullet train or a short drive from Niigata Airport. With a staggering 15 metres of average snowfall per season, this hidden gem quietly outpowders even the legendary Niseko. World-class comforts await after your last run. Feast on authentic Japanese or Western cuisine, melt into a serene onsen or take a lazy lap in the lavish indoor and outdoor pools. Every detail is designed to help you recharge until the mountain calls you back. Beyond the resort, Myoko's natural beauty is yours to explore. Snowshoe through the pristine Myoko-Togakushi Renzan National Park, skirt the frozen edges of Imori Pond or pull up a stool at a local restaurant and raise a glass of freshly brewed sake to the good life.
