Madarao

Madarao Ski Resort’s deep powder snow, wide variety of slopes and reinvigorating hot springs offer the ideal winter destination in Nagano. At a 40-minute drive to the Jigokudani Monkey Park, Nozawa Onsen and Myoko Area, visitors can experience Madarao’s unique powder snow, which earned the name ‘Madapow’, alongside close proximity to popular sightseeing spots. Madarao gets fewer international guests which creates a more relaxing ski environment due to shorter lift lines and less crowded slopes. 110-minutes from Tokyo or 80-minutes from Kanazawa to Iiyama station by bullet train and then a 30-minute bus to Madarao means easy accessibility for visitors.
