Madarao Mountain Resort
Madarao, Nagano
Located in Nagano prefecture of Honshu, Madarao Mountain Resort is one of the best winter destinations in all of Japan offering pristine powder snow, heaps of exciting slopes and soothing hot springs. Experiencing the famous snow and amenities of Madarao is more convenient than ever through an exciting but brief 2.5-hour trip from Tokyo including the world-famous bullet train and a short shuttle bus. Their uniquely fluffy powder snow, famed as some of the best snow in Japan, has earned the title, ‘Madapow’! Madarao Mountain Resort frequently gets snowfalls of over 50 cm a night ensuring the freshest snow each morning for the ultimate winter sports paradise.
To experience the best Madapow snow, head on over to the Madarao Mountain Resort to launch into one of its more than 50 available courses during its peak season from January to February.
The Mountain Pass gives visitors a day’s entrance to all slopes at the Madarao Mountain Resort and the directly adjacent Tangram Ski Circus for the affordable price of 5,500yen. These 50 courses include 15 tree-runs, a well-known natural powder half-pipe, an exciting snow park and a variety of other beginner, intermediate and advanced courses.
Alongside English-speaking staff, Madarao also offers a wide-range of ski schools, guided backcountry ski tours and other outings with English-speaking guides.
As opposed to Hokkaido which often suffers from freezing slopes, Nagano maintains the perfect temperature to support the best powder snow. The ski-in, ski-out style of Madarao and Tangram Resorts allow visitors to be at the slopes in under a minute for easy access to all the fun.
Ski rentals are also available with a range of gear suiting all the needs of beginner to expert level skiers. While staying at the Madarao Mountain Resort, guests can experience a wide range of the top-notch skiing that Nagano has to offer with close proximity to other hotspots such as the Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort and Myoko area.
After a long day of carving fresh powder snow, guests can head back to the lodge to check out the numerous amenities. The Madarao Mountain Resort offers both indoor and outdoor hot springs to refresh the body and mind after a long day in the crisp, cool air of Nagano. Facilities also include a buffet utilising fresh local produce to provide a variety of Japanese, Chinese and Western style dishes as well as a separate bar for night-time festivities.
