Nice property!
A very comfortable stay for us on a road trip. The property is located in the mountains, about 30-45 minutes to the coastline where all the actions are. Rooms were very clean and spacious. We had rooms that overlook the ski lifts. We went during the quiet season so there was limited dining options. It is a huge property with lots of attractions and we could imagine the buzz in the peak seasons. There was no air-conditioning in the rooms during our stay but the staff brought in electric fans which did the job. A nice stay after all.

Great enjoyable stay
Our 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
Check 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.

This property was very over rated. There was no microwave in the room which made it extremely difficult to eat snacks. I thought for the price of the room it was incredibly small. We paid less for more elsewhere in Japan. I was not impressed at all and will not be staying here in the future and will not recommend the hotel to any one I know.

This was a great stay. The property was a bit dated and the rooms were older but the amenities were great. It’s not necessarily ski in ski out as you have to walk a bit to the lift. But overall it was a great experience. The hotel had a lot of foreigners that feigned absolute ignorance about the rules of the hotel. What was disappointing at breakfast you see the server telling you use gloves and mask when going to the buffet, and then you see a foreigner completely ignore those rules and uses his grubby hands to touch all the bread to choose one at the middle and toast it. Otherwise the stay was enjoyable.
