Everything! The most loveliest hosts, felt really like spending the stay in their family.
Since vegan dinner options were rare in Iiyama, the host lady prepared a vegan vegetable stew and tofu as a side dish just for me and we had dinner together at their family kitchen table. ♡ Though communicating in English was a bit difficult, the 3 of them made an immense effort to communicate with me via Google translate - loved and enjoyed learning more about Iiyama, their life and Japanese culture so much! Also, met their lovely daughter Natsumi again by accident in Nozawa at Haus St. Anton a few days later which was lovely! :) Thank you for everything!!!

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!

The service was exceptional. As a first time skier in Japan, I had so many questions, but Liane patiently answered all of them! And while we were there, the assistance we received was outstanding, not to mention the free ride home from the fire festival which made it so much easier to visit.

Madarao is a small village about 25 minutes away by bus from Iiyama. It is very accessible from Tokyo by Shinkansen. Dinner has to be booked in advance since there are not too many choices. People are very friendly, as Japanese are usually are, and try to accommodate as much as possible.

The fact that I’m leaving a review at all means that we really loved the place. I’m not the social media type so rarely leave reviews and when I do I’m always conservative so 8/10 is excellent. (Hope it doesn’t bring down your average 😕). Loved the chalet, good size, sparkling clean, super friendly staff and very comfy bed and facilities. Would highly recommend you to everyone. Sigh, missing it as I type this to be honest.

The igloos in Kamakura Snow Village was very interesting.
The igloos in Kamakura Snow Village was very interesting. We even built a snowman! Maguse Onsen was a good experience with its outdoor onsen overlooking the Kijimadaira ski area. Wish we had known about the temple trail in Iiyama town earlier to plan for it. Maybe next trip.

Iiyama is the gateway to ski field heaven - in winter.
Iiyama is the gateway to ski field heaven - in winter. The train station is only 5 years old and is very modern, clean and well laid out - transferring to buses is smooth and moving around is helped by elevators and escalators.
The Information Centre was staffed by a young lady who spoke English beautifully and is very helpful. You can send your ski gear from there via Kuroneko to avoid lugging it onto the Shinkansen.
There is a walking tour you could do in summer to take in the local sights - some of them being a doll museum, paper making, onsen, cycling ... depending on the season.

I came to Iiyama to walk the Shin-Etsu trail, and I had decided to walk it without a guide, which proved to be quite the challenge, and everyone at the visitor center were incredibly kind and helpful in order for me to finish walking the trail, and I am so grateful for that. I would definitely recommend walking the trail, but with a guide!
The host was very welcoming. The location was great for ski-out (for everyone) and ski-in (for intermediate above skier).
Room was a bit old but fine. The bathroom was a bit (too) small. No tissues in the room, but toilet paper in the bathroom. Breakfast was simple but good. Only the host and her sons are running the place, so breakfast can be slow when the hotel is full.
Overall good experience :)
This place was so amazingly friendly. Served very traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner meals, which was a very new thing to this American traveler. Ski resort was a 5 min walk from hotel. My sense of time was very slow but the hotel staff was so helpful by accommodating reminders for breakfast and dinner. Hotel view was very beautiful.
The room was good sized and location was quite convenient being next to the bus stop, local eateries and a 5 minute walk up to the ski lifts. The staff were wonderful. I left my wallet in the safe and they promptly mailed it to my hotel in Tokyo. They have both Western and Japanese staff that are bilingual.
The hosts were great, and the house was very cozy. They have delicious homemade dinners with all kinds of drinks and good breakfast as well. The hotel is pet-friendly so we met a few cute dogs. There was a heavy snowfall on our last day but Mark helped all his guests get to the slopes. Thank you!
Super efficient check-in (which isn't always the case!). Rooms are a bit dated, though very functional. Buffet breakfast was good, and lovely views from the restaurants and cafes in the hotel. Nice enough onsen. Can't beat the convenience of the location!
Very close to the lifts. Easy 5 minutes walk. Under 10 minutes walk (with suitcases) to the bus stop to Iiyama Shinkansen Station. The hosts Boris & Mayimi were extremely helpful & friendly. Good little bar & effective drying room.
It’s very convenient, the bus stop at the door, it’s a ski-in & out hotel, there are large ski room to keep your board downstairs, they provide the plastic pot, you can take the water & ice to your room.
Great private little space. Close enough to the slopes and close to the convenience store. Lots of good restaurants relatively close by and easy to get to from Iiyama station via the community bus.
We loved the location! 200 metres to clip in and snow board. The staff were extremely helpful with booking restaurants and taxis. The hotel, rooms and onsen were very clean.
Great location for the ski hill and nice hotel. The bar offered a lively social area and they onsen was fantastic. The breakfast had a great selection. Parking was on site.
Walking distance to ski lifts. Good food at good price. Not a luxury hotel, but if you're looking for good value for skiing, this place was great. Staff were very helpful
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.
I chose this hotel last minute on a friend's advice. The location was great. The room was clean, and the bed was comfy. The staff were also friendly and helpful.
Staff were exceptional, it felt more like a family rather than a hotel. Nothing was too much trouble. We were also driven to Myoko and Nozawa for some variety.
