Madarao Kogen Hotel is the main ski-in, ski-out accommodation at Madarao Mountain Resort, offering one of the most convenient and well-rounded stays for skiers and snowboarders visiting this powder-focused destination in Nagano. Positioned at the base of the resort, it provides direct access to lifts, ski school and rental facilities, making it easy to maximise time on snow.

 

The hotel features a mix of Western and Japanese-style rooms, catering to couples, families and small groups. Rooms are functional and comfortable, with ensuites and practical layouts suited to ski holidays. While the style is more traditional than boutique, the focus is on convenience and value in a true slopeside setting.

 

A standout feature is the natural onsen, including both indoor and outdoor baths fed by mineral-rich hot spring water drawn from deep underground. These provide a relaxing way to unwind after a day in Madarao’s well-known powder and tree skiing zones.

 

Dining is available on-site with buffet-style options combining Japanese and Western cuisine, along with a café, bar and lounge spaces for après ski. Additional facilities include ski storage, rental shop, games area and services catering to international guests.

 

Madarao is known for its excellent tree skiing, lighter crowds and laid-back atmosphere, making it a strong alternative to busier Japanese resorts.
