June 21, 2022

Lotte Arai Resort, situated in Niigata Prefecture on the west coast of Japan's Honshu Island, has secured four 2022 Ski Asia Awards having been named Japan's best family ski resort, best ski hotel, best ski resort for power, and best snowsports school.

Marking its 3rd anniversary this year, Ski Asia Awards is hosted by Ski Asia which provides skiing information in Asia to skiers around the world. The results are only based on online votes from skiers and snowboarders during the ski season.

Lotte Arai Resort received favourable reviews from winter sports lovers with the highest amount of snowfall, powder snow which is light yet does not harden easily, and the longest ski season in mainland Japan lasting six months from December to May.

The resort also offers 14 ski courses and free-riding courses efficiently earmarked for beginners, intermediate and advanced levels. Families highly evaluated koala character themed rooms which were presented last autumn, and Myoko Snowsports providing lessons to adults and children depending on levels.

Lotte Arai Resort houses 257 guest rooms and 13 F&B outlets comprising western buffet, traditional Japanese cuisine, Italian and more. It has a maximum slope length of 5.2 kilometers, and 951 meters altitude difference between the highest and the lowest slopes. After skiing, the resort's Hoshizora Outdoor Hot Spring provides a serene relaxation atmosphere.

From May to November, Lotte Arai Resort enters its green season. It offers the longest zip tour in Asia with total length of 1,501 metres. Another well-known feature is the Tree Adventure. Home to Japan's largest aerial adventure, featuring over 100 obstacles stretched out over an area spanning 33,000 metre2, the facility offers a truly special experience of flying between trees, hanging onto a rope, and passing obstacles in a wild jungle. The resort has added new activities such as the longest tubing course in Japan, bouldering, ATV tours and many others.

Meanwhile, Lotte Hotels and Resorts - the largest hotel group in Korea - is expanding beyond Asia to become a global brand and is currently operating 32 hotels in seven countries. With its Korean style hospitality service and brand portfolio, the hotel group satisfies the needs of various travellers – premium landmark hotel "SIGNIEL," classic upper upscale "LOTTE HOTELS," lifestyle hotel "L7 HOTELS," business-optimised "LOTTE City Hotels" and "LOTTE Resort" for family travellers.
