Japan’s Lotte Arai Resort secures multiple Ski Asia awards

The Ski Asia Awards - an event hosted by 'Ski Asia' - an online resource for information on ski resorts in Japan, South Korea and China – has seen Japan’s Lotte Arai Resort secure multiple awards.

The winners of the awards are selected through online voting only by skiers and snowboarders.

Lotte Arai Resort achieved the feat of winning top honours in three categories of "Japan's Best Ski Resort, Japan's Best Ski Resort for Powder, and Japan's Best Snowsports School" at the 2023 Ski Asia Awards.

Lotte Arai Resort, located on Mount Okenashi, Niigata Prefecture, Japan, is a place that boasts fresh powder snow with the largest amount of snowfall in Japan.

With a vast ski run area of 15.7 million square meters, 14 ski courses and freeriding zones, all skiers from beginner to advanced can avail themselves at their own skill level. In addition, since the resort operates the Snow School, even beginner skiers can learn the basics properly.

Lotte Arai Resort is full of activities to enjoy even during the green season, which begins at the end of April. In addition to the zip tour, the longest in Asia at 1,501m, you can experience Japan's largest Tree Adventure, climbing facilities and a Playground with trampolines.

The Ski Asia awards also saw Japan’s Best Snowsports School awarded to Myoko Snowsports.

The school, whose flagship branch services the Akakura Kanko/Onsen resorts, is now also the official snowsports school for Lotte Arai Resort, a 40 minute drive from Akakura.
