Madarao Mountain Resort, IIyama Japan
Madarao Mountain Resort is one of Japan’s hidden gems. The resort is located in northeastern Nagano, on Japan’s main island - Honshu. It sits between Myoko Kogen and Nozawa Onsen – two of the region’s better-known ski resorts however much more heavily populated on a powder day!
Madarao (or Madapow as its been affably named) is the sleeping little giant within this region for skiing in Japan.
The resort is known for its light, dry powder “Madapow”, which it receives in spades ( ... about 13 meters per season ). Most importantly, Madarao permits skiers to venture off-piste, something that cannot be taken for granted in Japan. With 60% of its runs un-groomed—including some beautiful tree lines, the resort offers excellent value for powder hounds looking to avoid the crowds of the more popular westernised resorts.
Madarao Mountain Resort is little known outside of Japan. The resort is rather quiet in comparison to its neighbours. Long lift queues and congested slopes are a rarity. As Madarao continues to build its reputation for powder (on a shoestring budget), this will inevitably change.
Weekend crowds are negligible - and during the weekdays it's possible to ski fresh powder all day long (without ever seeing a person). If you're lucky enough to score a mid-week storm its possible to get meters of fresh snow giving you waist to nipple deep powder.
Lifts & Terrain
Mount Madarao peaks at 1382 m, offering skiers 440 m of vertical to play with. The resort is serviced by 15 lifts, including two high-speed detachable quads.
Beginners have plenty of ground to cover towards the base of the mountain. Beginner A & B, Utopia, and Shirakaba are all ideally suited to first-timers. More experienced skiers should head up to View Point, atop the No.13 lift. From there, skiers can access all parts of the mountain. Crystal Bowl and PowderWave2 offer some of the resort’s best tree skiing. On the other side of the resort, WorldCup was previously used as a moguls course at the 1988 Freestyle Skiing World Cup. It sits alongside Powderwave, another of the resort’s gladed areas for tree skiing.
Powder Days in Japan - Part 1 (Madarao Ski Resort)
#MADARAO #MYOKO #NAGANO
One extraordinary powder day at the temple of Powder otherwise known as Madarao, Nagano Prefecture, Japan.
This was just one of 10 days of epic skiing, snowboarding, travelling in and around the Nagnao/Myoko area. Every single day was a powder day, even our rest day in which we visited the town of Joetsu, on the West coast of Japan.

Nagano (長野市 Nagano-shi?), the capital city of Nagano Prefecture, is located in the northern part of the prefecture near the confluence of the Chikuma and the Sai rivers, on the main Japanese island of Honshū.
As of April 1, 2011, the city has an estimated population of 387,146 and a population density of 460 persons per km². The total area is 834.85 km².Nagano is most famous for Zenkō-ji, a 7th-century Buddhist temple that overlooks the city. A million tourists visit Nagano annually. Nagano was originally a town in Kamiminochi District built around the hilltop temple that is the largest wooden building in eastern Japan, but the city now encompasses locations that were within Sarashina, Hanishina, and Kamitakai districts.The city is located within Minuchi (水内郡), Takai (高井), Sarashina (更級郡), and Hanishina (埴科郡) Districts in the ancient Shinano Province. Zenkō-ji relocated from the current city of Iida (642). Afterwards, the town of Monzen became one of the motel towns of Hokkoku Kaidō.[clarification needed] The Battles of Kawanakajima were fought there including the fight between Takeda Shingen (武田信玄) and Uesugi Kenshin (上杉謙信). In 1742 (Inu-no-Mansui (戌の満水 or 千曲川大洪水), the water level reached 6.4 metres (21 ft)) at Akanuma (near the border with the former town of Toyono.) Due to Zenko-ji earthquake (May 8, 1847), nearly 10,000 people died. Nagano gained city status in 1897. The Matsushiro Underground Imperial Headquarters (松代大本営) was started in 1944, but was cancelled in 1945 due to the end of war. The city hosted the biggest mergers of the Showa Era I in 1954. In 1959, due to the flooding of Chikuma River, 71 people died or were missing and 20,000 homes were flooded. The biggest mergers of the Showa Era II occurred there in 1966. The Matsushiro Earthquake (松代群発地震) was here. Due to landslides (地附山地すべり災害) in 1985, 27 people died and 60 homes were destroyed or badly damaged. The city hosted the 1998 Winter Olympics and the Paralympics. In 1999, Nagano became a core city. Due to the mergers in the Heisei Era, the city absorbed the municipalities of Toyono, and the village of Togakushi, and Kinasa (from Kamiminochi District), and the village of Ōoka (from Sarashina District). Nagano hosted the 2005 Special Olympics World Winter Games.On April 1, 1897 the city was founded. It became the first city founded in Nagano Prefecture and the 43rd city in Japan). On October 16, 1966, the current and the second city of Nagano was founded by merging with 8 municipalities, including the original city. On January 1, 2005 the city absorbed municipalities from Kamiminochi District (Toyono, Togakushi, and Kinasa) and Sarashina District (Ooka). On January 1, 2010 Nagano absorbed the town of Shinshūshinmachi and the village of Nakajō from Kamiminochi District.[3]The historic site of the Battles of Kawanakajima was converted into parkland, with a municipal museum of the history of the Zenkoji plain.
Matsushiro, the former castle town of the Sanada clan, is located in the southern part of the city. The town retains an historic atmosphere, preserving many samurai residences, temples, and gardens of the feudal period, including the remains of the castle and mansion of feudal Lord Sanada Jumangoku.
Sporting venues built for the Winter Olympics include the M-Wave speed-skating arena (with the world's largest wooden suspension roof), Big Hat arena, and the Aqua Wing Arena.
North of the city is the village of Iizuna. A popular destination in both summer and winter, it includes a ski resort, campsite, onsen, 10 ponds and a mountain slide ride.
Northeast of the city is Japan's largest ski resort, Shiga Kogen,[6] with the nearby Jigokudani Monkey Park,[7] famous for the wild Japanese macaque often found bathing in its hot springs.
South of the downtown core, in Shinano, Mt. Chausu hosts the Nagano Chausuyama Zoo, an outdoor dinosaur park, botanical garden
The city's main railway hub, Nagano Station, and the smaller Shinonoi Station, were expanded for the Olympics. The Nagano Shinkansen opened in 1997, connecting Nagano to Takasaki, Gunma. Nagano Station also serves the Shinano Railway Line, Shin'etsu Main Line, and Iiyama Line. The JR Chūō Main Line connects Nagano to the major city of Nagoya in Aichi Prefecture.
The Nagano Electric Railway also runs the Nagano Line to major sites around the city and its suburbs.
The city is connected by rail south to Matsumoto via the Shinonoi Line, which terminates at Shinonoi Station.
Busy Sunday in Togari Onsen ski resort, Jan 2016.
Beginner area. Many skiers and boarders. Togari Onsen Ski Resort is located between Nozawa and Madarao. There are many ski resorts in north Nagano.
Madarao Side & Backcountry Skiing
Terrain options for riding on the side and backcountry of Mt Madarao are prevalent.
Lift accessed side & backcountry riding options are abundant at Madarao Mountain Ski Resort & Tangram Ski Circus. If you're equipped with the right safety equipment you can access almost as much rideable terrain outside of the resort boundaries, as that shown on the resort area map.
Within a short five to fifteen-minute walk towards the peak at Mt Madarao there are steeps, trees and abundant powder in the right conditions. You can ride untracked powder for days after a storm in terrain that will challenge the most advanced riders.
Take a moment and visit our website, watch our short promo video's with some incredible skiing segments shot in the terrain of Madarao and surrounding areas and most importantly reach out to us for your accommodation enquiry.
