Great value stay and meals, not to mention the local wisdom from the proprietors. Shuttled us to and from the slopes, offered discounted lift tickets, showed us the best places to eat, introduced us to local drinks and snacks, and were great conversation in general. They even took us to the onsen!

The nicest hosts ever! We had a great stay at Madarao Elm Pension. Beds were comfy and breakfast was great (western style). We also had great Naebe for dinner one day. We we're taken to a local onsen with the very nice owner and we got a lift to the hill everyday. You can ski back to the pension if you dare to use the roads. A big + in Japan is also that they spoke very good english.

Elm Pension is super comfy and great value for money. There is plenty of excellent food and beds super comfy but it was Toshi and Yoshiko's hospitality that really won us over. Toshi will drive you up the hill to the ski resort (takes like 2 minutes) and collect you back when you are ready. If you do not want to eat here then there are plenty of eating places up the hill . If you walk home it's like 7 minutes. Overall a lovely place to stay with both of them very helpful.

The property was very cosy and convenient for all of the snow and skiing activities in Madarao, as well as walking distance to restaurants. It is a nice place to stay and the meals are also great. The staff are wonderful too, very accommodating and friendly and made it a lovely place to stay.

過ごしやすく、ごはんがおいしかったです。オーナーご夫妻は親しみやすく、用具のレンタル、返却でもご都合下さり助かりました。今回スキーでしたがリフト券は必ずお電話してこちらで手配いただいたほうがいいです。

There ain't nothing to complain about really. The only thing is that they should have had a drying room for all ski gear. The bath/onsen on site could have been a little bit bigger, but we got taken to a local one so didn't matter.
