Madarao Acorn Village is 600 metres from the lodge, while Togari Onsen Ski Resort is 12 km from the property. The nearest airport is Matsumoto, 83 km from Chill Madarao, and the property offers a free shuttle service.

The locaton was right next to lift and the ski rental was in-house. Ski passes were purchased on our behalf and we were also picked up from the station. Travelling as a family was made to feel really easy. Absolutely delicious breakfast. We also had two evening meals during our stay and the food was excellent. The bar, where we met other guests for drinks and card games, was welcoming. We hope to return in the future.

Raicho Lodge Madarao is situated in Madarao. Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, the property is located a 3-minute walk from Madarao Kogen Ski Resort. Offering ski storage space and ski pass sales point, the warmly decorated wooden accommodation features mountain views from all rooms.

Jono and Catherine are very welcoming and we had a wonderful stay. We had a room with a private shower and everything was clean and worked perfectly. The Raicho lodge is well located (5mn to slopes, flat), very neat and well maintained. Jono is very attentive to his guests needs and make sure the place is always welcoming. Breakfast is simple but generous (bread, cereals, etc). We know where to go when we go back to Madarao!

The non-smoking property also offers an on-site bar, vending machines and a ticket service. At Nozawa Altitude lodge, guests can relax at the shared lounge or use the games room.

Nozawa Onsen Ski Museum is an 8-minute drive away, while the Nozawa Onsen Ski Resort is a quick 3-minute drive away. Hokuryu Lake can be driven to within a 13-minute drive from the lodge.

It was a bit nostalgic for me, smelling food being cooked reminded me of when I’d wake in the morning and my parents were cooking. The aroma of breakfast and dinner made me want to get out the bed and see what it was. Hot breakfast cooked by Jack was available, along with many cereal options, pastries, juices, and a toaster to self service. Fresh coffee which always makes my day! Breakfast was superb. Something different every morning and if I didn’t care for it, Jack offered to make me another option, which is very hospitable. There was also shuttle service to pick you up from bus station and to bring you to the Nagasaka Gondola. The drying/storage room for snowboarding/skiing gear was definitely a great option and it was great that each locker was designated for your room number. Overall, my stay was very excellent and the hosts are quite knowledgeable about the area. Will definitely stay there again.

Looking for a lodge?

Ideal for nature-lovers looking for a self-sufficient getaway, lodges are fully furnished and self-catered. Usually made of wood and surrounded by forests or mountains, lodges can be part of a group or a single unit. More remote than holiday homes, lodges are popular for safari trips.

    Perfect ski lodge for our large family. The owners were very hospitable and quick to respond to our questions and needs. We took ski and snowboard lessons with Sam, Taki, and Kotone at Nozawa and Togari, and as it turns out Taki’s wife is a world class baker who cooked up the best breakfast buns this side of the Pacific. Thank you for making our family trip extra memorable!

    Great little lodge with lots of charm. Clean, comfortable, and great location right at the base of the ski hill. If you want a smaller ski hill with the same snow as Nozawa, Togari is a good spot. Little onsen in the basement was nice too. We felt it was really good value here for the price. Gábor, the guy running it, was very friendly, and went above and beyond to help us find extra ski gear when we showed up lacking. Really saved my day on the hill!

    Ski in, ski out. One of the closest lodges to the lift. Some of the best food in Madarao. We noticed some groups from other hotels dinning there. Friendly service.

    The Japanese breakfast is amazing. TOP friendly and helpfulness. The bed is comfortable, bedding is warm. The building is well-insulated. Open fire place in the common area, with leather sofas. A great place to relax. Very close to the ski ticketing and slope. You can ski back to the ski lodge. The ski slope is across the street.

    Spacious rooms, between 3 mountains that are drivable distances (Madarao, Myoko and nozawa onsen). Great value for money and staff were super friendly. Great if you like self catering lodges for families. Would recommend sharing a whole block with friends or family.
