“the hosts, Tobu-san and Yumi-san, were so warm! the house was quite close to the ski slopes (Tobu-san dropped us at the entrance of the slopes by car) delicious breakfast with tasteful vegetables and apple jam!”

“Tob-san and Mama are the best hosts in the world!!”

“If you’re staying at this hotel, you have try dinner/breakfast. Most of the ingredients are home grown and they all taste amazing.”

“Great hospitality again and the free shuttle service and pick up can’t be beat. You can tell Tob san and his wife enjoy what they do. I will stay here every time in Madarao!”

“We really enjoyed our stay at Tob’s house! You can tell Tob and his wife love hosting and are more than willing to help however needed. They also have a free shuttle service to and from the house to Madarao. We can’t wait to return!”

“Everything. Instead of feeling like staying at a foreign place like a normal hotel, the place give the feeling of beeing somewhere you're familiar, much like staying at your grandparents house. Most of it comes from the great hospitality from Tob-san and his wife, but the rest comes from the fact that because the place is relatively small, you interact more with them and other guests. The place is clean, well maintained and comes complete with other amenities you'd usually found at big hotels. Tob-san would also send and pick you up to the nearest ski resort, helps you with clearing snow from your car and many more. We were there during new year's eve of 2021, and they serve us special dish (toshikoshi soba and osechi), traditionally served in japanese household during the eve and the morning of new year on the house. Overall very satisfied and will look forward to staying here again if I come snowboarding in the area again.”

“Tob and Yumi are very helpful and go out of their way to make it a great stay.”

“Tobu-san and Yumi-san were exceptional hosts! We had the most amazing time staying at Tob’s house, we didn’t want to leave and were quite sad when we finally had to say goodbye! We’d highly recommend staying here for authentic Japanese hospitality, nothing was too hard for them and they always went above and beyond to make sure we were looked after - Yumi is an amazing cook and Tobu treats you like you are a part of their family! We’ll definitely be back. ありがとうございましたとぶさんとゆみさん。またね！”

“Great spot with amazing access to Madaoro Resort. The hosts are amazing and the food was great!”

“There were many things we liked! Tob-san and Yumi-san were very friendly, informative and helpful. We felt very welcomed in their house. The dinners and breakfasts were not only delicious, each meal comprised many dishes. We had 2 dinners and 2 breakfasts and they were all different, all delicious and lovingly prepared. There were free drinks and snacks too. The place was very clean and warm. Our room had 3 single beds for the two of us and the window opens up to the winter view outside. The bathroom with the communal bathtub was spotless and inviting. We could get our ski pass and ski rental from Tob-san at discounted prices. Since we had a car, we didn't get Tob-san to drive us to and from the ski resort but on the first day, he kindly showed us the way to the ski resort, which was less than 10 min away. We highly recommend this place and are thinking of bringing our children there next year.”
