Excellent location for skiing at the resort. The food was good, and the Onsen was excellent. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Great enjoyable stay
Posted 14 Feb 2024 on HotelsOur second time after 5 years and it’s still as well maintained. We stayed on the lodge/ club side and enjoyed the views from our room. The bar is a favorite, and Japanese restaurant as well. Can skip breakfast if not a big eater- bakery seemed nice. Didn’t enjoy the Korean restaurant as much. Skiing was great! We were lucky to get one day of powder! Ask for Kim in ski school.

This property has everything you need for an enjoyable time, especially skiing and soaking in the onsen.
The downside is not being able to explore outside the area freely as we were dependent on the hotel’s bus schedule the ride takes 30min to the train station.
We also had difficulty communicating with some of the hotel staff, even though we spoke Japanese fluently! We understand their need to wear masks (sort of) but many times we just wished they spoke more clearly.
All in all, we had a memorable time at Arai.

Not impressed
Posted 31 Jan 2024 on HotelsCheck in was a lengthy process. We found that they could not seem to locate our bags and ski equipment that we sent ahead. They seemed disorganized and confused. Other guests in the lounge areas, dining room and onsen were very loud. Overall not very relaxing. The skiing was not great, as it was so warm, the
conditions were bad. The food in the breakfast bugfet was good, but the non Japanese items on the
dinner menu were not executed very
well. Fairly tasteless yoshoku choices.
