"Amazing personal service from start to finish. Christo and his front of house staff are accommodating of all requests. We were kindly picked up at Kurahemei station. Shuttled to our ski areas or the 7/11 for snacks or the Nihonte restaurant. We were even assisted with our transfer to our next destination Shiga Kogen with our own tour guide the delightful Luna. Our room was lovely with a magnificent view of Lake Noriji. The temperature of the room was always perfect, not sure how this was...

"Friendly staff and beautiful japanese traditional room. "

"Very clean. Older but charming. Exactly what I wanted. Delicious restaurant on site to use if you get snowed in or just want a fantastic meal. Onsen was also great. "

"The hotel was great and the owner and his wife were fantastic! Amazing hospitality, really easy access to the slopes (you can walk 1 minute to the lift), but they also went out of their way to drive us to and from the slopes on the 3 days we were there. I also want to really recommend this place even if you aren't staying the night for the food. Every night we had a multi-course meal and it was very very good - definitely worth booking if you are staying in the area. If you are looking for a...

"Very cosy Japanese accommodation. Lovely couple and very friendly. Definitely will recommend this place 👍👍"

"It was good. Had the Japanese style room. It was comfortable and spacious. Pretty close to the interesting things to see"

"Cozy ryokan in a nice area. The lady in charge was very friendly and welcoming. "

"Wonderful location! Excellent Onsen. Nice size room, not too small."

"This deserves much more than an 8.4 rating. We had one of the best ski stays ever at the Arai and we’ve stayed at Chamonix, Aspen, Jackson Hole, and Big Sky. The hospitality and food was amazing with some of the best service possible. The price was so much more reasonable than any other US destination. Thank you Lotte Arai."

"Amazing breakfast and dinner, nice private indoor onsen, beautiful outdoor onsen"

"Staff was very kind, even with the language barrier, were more than helpful. Rooms were well equipped with extra blankets and mattresses. The hotel bus drove us to the Monkey park and to the train station upon checkout. Onsen was very hot and clean. Would love to come back! "

"Fujisan was great. Our car couldn’t make it to the inn. Fuji came down the hill in a snowstorm to pick us up, he called ahead to make sure the local restaurant stayed open for us as well. Breakfasts were excellent, the rooms were large by ryokan standards and very clean. The Hanabun is a vintage gem tucked deep in the Myoko Mountains. "

"Lovely and spacious room, very convenient location and close to the slopes. The staff were lovely. Will be back! "

"Location was fantastic for our first time to Japan… "

"Amenity choices are wide. The frontdesk staff is super polite and efficient. The location and parking area is closed to main train station which is very convenient. The parking fee is ¥800 which is even lower than some smaller city. Good deal!"

"The room was super clean , easy access for going around , the onsen was great , honestly its great value"

"Fantastic location. Easy to walk to Nagano station. Easy walk to Zenkoji. It is a Japanese hotel so it is a small room. Don't expect western size. No issues with it at all. "

"For North American travellers, this hotel is much better than its rating on this site. My partner and I were in an executive level suite and I suspect that it was used for VIPs during the 1998 Olympics. Very spacious, comfortable, soaker tub and separate shower. Walking distance to restaurants, 5 minute drive to Nagano station (hotel offers free shuttle), and close to Zenkoji (temple). Beautiful property, excellent staff. Highly recommended. "
