Madarao Mountain Lodge

“Everything. Mark and Mayuko run a mountain lodge by which all other properties should be judged. The comfort of the rooms was amazing, the hot water abundant, the restaurant food sensational, the atmosphere cozy, and the staff incredibly hospitable. The powder on Madarao was insane, to boot. I cannot recommend a stay here more highly. Book now, treasure the memories later!”

“Being a family run accommodation, we felt like we were coming home each day. The property is comfortable and welcoming and the hosts go out of their way to ensure you enjoy your time there. Breakfast varied each day and was delicious. We also had dinner one night which was very nice. The rooms are large and comfortable and the bathrooms are good. I enjoyed the view from our bedroom window as well as from the living room balcony. Parking is plentiful. While we stayed in summer, this would be an excellent place to stay in winter with quick access to the ski fields.”

“Mark and Abbey were very friendly and accommodating hosts. Rooms were simple but warm and comfortable. Breakfast was included, which was a tasty and filling mixture of Japanese and Western food. The ski field was a very short stroll down the road and you can ride down the slopes to the lifts/ticket office. Nice n quiet and a welcome change from busier resorts.”

“Great stay again!”

“Close to ski field. Relaxed and helpful team - welcoming. Nice vibe. Food was great especially the sushi.”
