Lotte Arai Resort, Myoko

Located on the slopes of Mount Okenashi in the city of Myoto in Niigata prefecture, Lotte Arai Resort features rustic rooms with exposed-beam ceilings, boasting views of Okenashiyama’s slopes beyond. Its several venues encompass a steak house, a restaurant serving elevated Japanese cuisine and even a karaoke bar, ensuring you won’t have to wander too far for entertainment and fuel.
