Point your ski tips towards Japan and plant your poles at Lotte Arai Resort — a ski-in, ski-out winter wonderland that promises delicious cuisine, apres-ski onsen and some of the deepest powder in the country. Tucked away in Myoko, only a two-hour drive from Niigata Airport or just over 90 minutes by bullet train from Tokyo, Arai is blessed with an average snowfall of 15 metres each season; more than the much-frequented Niseko and with fewer crowds. This impressive resort is home to a blizzard of top facilities, including Japanese, Italian and Western dining, a fun karaoke bar, a serene onsen for languid soaks and lavish indoor and outdoor pools.

Beyond the resort, an abundance of natural beauty awaits in Myoko. Embark on a snowshoe adventure through the Myoko-Togakushi Renzan National Park, trace your way along the frozen edges of Imori Pond, or sample sake at one of the restaurants nearby.
