MADARAO MOUNTAIN RESORT
Madarao - Tangram
Nagano

The Mountain
Madarao Mountain Resort is a small mountain, but it is very popular because of the easy navigation around the mountain, powder tree runs and very friendly atmosphere. Mount 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 well.

Where to stay
The most popular accommodation is Madarao Kogen Hotel because it is a ski in and ski out hotel and has great views. But, if you are looking for more western self contained accommodation we reccomend Aki's Apartment in Madarao. Hotel Tangram on the Tangram side is also ski in ski out and only one chairlift away from Madarao.

The Location
The fastest route to Madarao is to fly into Haneda or Narita Airport, catch the airport shuttle bus or train to Tokyo Train Station, take the Shinkansen to IIyama and then take the bus to Madarao. There are also airport shuttle buses and taxis. We will provide you with detailed up to date transfer info and help plan and book all transfers.

Hotel Tangram was great. The room was comfortable, spacious and accommodated my friend and I with no issues. I particularly enjoyed the professional service from the friendly team. The buffet dinner and breakfast was good and from what I could see will cater to almost all diets. It included a particularly impressive dessert section as well as an all you can drink option at the bar! The ski runs itself were enjoyable as well. Particularly Jack’s downhill on the powder day was one of the best skiing I have ever had! After a big day of snowboarding it was good to head back to the hotel and enjoy the beautiful onsen. Thank you so much for the wonderful stay. 

Another thing I liked is that I can still access Madarao by one chair lift.

The stay at Hotel Tangram was awesome, the service, people and food was perfect. One of the things that shows it’s a great place is the staff are still the same as last year, and they remember you.  It is a great place to finish a ski holiday. All going well we will be back next year.

Third time staying at this Hotel booked for us by the extremely helpful Hisae at Japan Snow Accommodation.  
 
Good english spoken by several staff which is great for those of us too lazy to learn Japanese, Mako at reception has lived in Australia and is great at sorting out any special requests.  Comfy beds, good showers in the room, rooms serviced every day, really nice Onsen, very good souvenir/ski gear shop, snack shop and huge restaurant that serves a great buffet breakfast and dinner where the menu changes slightly each day. Drinks are very reasonably priced and non alcoholic drinks are free with with the buffet dinner.  
 
If you want to ramp up the eating experience there are also a couple of specialist restaurants to choose from.  The upstairs lobby has a nice bar that also serves a good expression if you need a caffeine fix.  For a good night out without going out they have 3 private karaoke rooms available for a small charge.
 
Overall 10/10....will definitely be heading back next year to make it 4 years in a row.
