MADARAO MOUNTAIN RESORT
Nagano
The Mountain
Madarao is a nice sized mountain with some great tree runs. Madarao is a small mountain, but it very popular because of the easy navigation around the mountain, powder tree runs and typcal Japanese style friendly service. Mt. Madarao consists of Madarao Mountain Resort on one side & Tangram on the other side and are connected by a lift. Day trips to Nozawa Onsen and Myoko Kogen are also possible. Madarao has about 10 restaurants & bars so you can enjoy dining out in the small resort village. We have been working with Madarao since 2008 & have close relationships with the resort team. Touma is one of our travel consultants works at Akis Pub and Ski school, so he knows Madarao.
Where to stay
The most popular accommodation on the Madarao side are Madarao Kogen Hotel and Monaile Madarao because they are both ski in/ski out hotels. Hotel Tangram on the Tangram side is also ski in ski out.

Thanks once again for booking our accommodation. Our hosts at Annex Aburaya were amazing and so accommodating. English was a challenge but google translator helped massively. It had a real Japanese feel and the breakfast and dinner was great. The ski lifts and slopes are just outside the front door across the road so a hop, skip and a jump and you are off down the mountain. Madarao Ski Resort is sure one not to be missed. The runs are perfect for all levels of skiing. Those who like a bit of off piste stuff well this is the mountain for you as it is aloud. We will be heading back for sure. If you are looking to get away from the now more popular ski resorts in Nagano check out Madarao you will not be disappointed.

We spent 4 days boarding in Madarao, staying at Aburaya. Each evening we ate in the pension, and the food was amazing. Although the owners did not speak much English, language was not an issue as they made a huge effort, and the hospitality was first class.

This place was perfect. The owners were so hospitable and made a huge effort for us. Nothing was too much trouble. The meals were all excellent and on our last night we were really treated to some fine dining Japanese style! delicious! The location was also perfect as it was right next to the chairlift. The perfect hosts and great value for money is how i would describe my stay.
