Ski Runs:
They range for beginners right up to seasoned professionals. All with easy chairlift access. Lift passes range from 8,000¥ per day or a multi-day pass from 15,000¥ for 2 days and a 3 day pass at 21,000¥
Restaurants and Bars:
Madarao has very quickly become the new hot spot to dine and drink, with a great variety of boutique restaurants and bars. Here is a link to a few of our favourites:

Mountain Bike runs:
This increasingly popular sport is growing interest on the mountain and bike trails are being developed for the green seasons.
Ski Hire:
There are two ski hire store options to choose from, and both offer a fantastic range of ski or snowboard hire, and also all your ski gear too.
Groceries:
There is a grocery and gift store which offers the essentials for staying on the mountain including alcohol. Open 7 days a week.
Onsens:
There is one Onsen available to visit in the village at the Madarao Kogen, and also another public Onsen called Madarao no Yu which is just a 10 minute drive from the lodge, and you can also have dinner there too. Andrew the host can offer a shuttle to either Onsen if required.
