Welcome to Madarao Kogen

Madarao Kogen Ski Resort is located between Nozawa Onsen and Myoko Kogen in northern Nagano Prefecture. Mt. Madarao stands 1382m tall and has 28 exclusive course and 15 lifts all in a unique bowl shape ski area and gets around 3-4m of snow every winter!

Madarao appeals more to skiers and snowboarders who enjoy powder snow as 60% of the courses are ungroomed for the pleasure of deep powder skiing. However because powder skiing is an acquired taste there are few people on each run giving you the liberty to ski on untouched powder without competition.

If you like groomed courses better, not to worry! Other than ungroomed powder courses Madarao has groomed courses, Tree Runs courses, a Free Ride Park, Kids Park and wave course - Madarao can be enjoyed by everyone from any skill level. If you are keen to try out different ski resorts, Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort & Togari Onsen Ski Resort are available to try out via a paid shuttle bus that runs 6 times a day.

Madarao Kogen Hotel offers a free to use high quality natural mineral water Onsen, when you stay there or at Hotel Monaile Madarao. Madarao Onsen is quite a small town which has some restaurants, cafes, bars in the central area not far from the hotels.
