Fantastic location, walking distance to the lifts and nearby restaurants. Our biggest draw was that they were dog friendly and didn’t have restrictions on size (something that I’ve run into a lot in Japan)! We traveled with our two pups, a Siberian Husky and Ryukyu Ken, it was such a fabulous experience during our 8 day stay. The staff was warm and welcoming and didn’t come across that we were an inconvenience by being there with our pups. The room was a decent size and I loved that the two twins were able to be put together for a comfortable king bed. Provided breakfast in the morning was basic but sufficient - toast, eggs, yogurt, cereal, coffee, juices and tea. I will note that if you have any food sensitivities such as being gluten-free or avoid dairy, just be prepared to bring something for breakfast during your stay! We loved that there was a bar/restaurant that had just opened up! The food was very tasty, and was also a plus that they were dog friendly! Would absolutely return in a heartbeat!

Josh & Rach went above and beyond to help us and make us feel comfortable during our stay. The lodge is very cosy, breakfast was the best way to start the day and the cakes of the day were insane. Room was comfortable and the hot bath was a godsend after a long day on the slope, which is a 5 min walk away.

This great hotel is conveniently located just a 5-minute walk from the entrance to Madarao Resort, with a small mini-mart right next door. The property is clean and well-maintained, and the staff are exceptionally kind and helpful. Guests can have nice breakfast and dinner options for an additional fee. Additionally, the hotel offers ski and snowboard equipment rentals, which it a highly convenient .

nice, quiet and close to the slopes. the entire lodge is well heated as well. good indoor onsen too.

The location was great! Closest place to the hill. Beautiful views and GREAT hosts. Really made you feel like family. 10/10 would highly recommend.

The buffet dinner and breakfast were perfect for us! The pick up service was flexible so it really saved us from the stress of how to go to the hotel.

It was right at the ski slopes, and had a separate locker room for ski equipment. The staff was very friendly, and even insisted on driving us down to the parking when we left. The room was incredibly spacious, very clean and the breakfast was good, switching every other day. The hotel had its own little shop as well. They even had discounts for ski rental shops if you mentioned that you were staying at their hotel.

Location is awesome, it's around 5mins walk to Nagasaka Gondola

The property was beautiful. The location was peaceful but not too far from the lifts or restaurants in Madarao. The hosts are wonderful people and very kind. It felt like staying with old friends. The food was excellent. We would definitely recommend having at least one of your dinners here. It’s intimate, cozy, and stylish. They have two cool pups and some extra snow shoes if you want to explore the trails and lake nearby.

We had an amazing time spending 5 nights at Active Life Madarao as a group of 8 friends spread across 4 rooms. The rooms were huge compared to any accommodation we've experienced in Japan, very comfy and warm (the ability to open the windows and a space heater to customise the room to the perfect temperature for your preference was great!). Very close walk to the Madarao slopes and the open air hot bath was a perfect way to relax at the end of the day (Remember to bring bathers!). But above all, our host Lisa was such a delight, her exceptional service helped us so much through our time and really made us feel at home during our stay (helping us find alternative instructors when our ski school cancelled on us at the last minute, finding us taxis when the bus routes were altered, organising luggage transfers, and even organising with the chef to make a birthday cake for our mate celebrating his 30th!) Thank you so much!! We will be back 🙂

Right on the slope with everything you need onsite. Great onsen and big buffet breakfast, we had dinner included too which was good as could use at the buffet or other restaurant brian on site also

Great hosts, good location, very nice guesthouse

Staff were always there to help with anything including shuttles to / from dinner or the bus. The private onsens were lovely and the lodge setup was simple but pleasant for a low key ski vacation. Nice fire always burning!

Food was delicious and staff were very helpfull
