"AWESOME Family Skiing adventure - Be treated as part of the ActiveLife family!! We stayed at Active Life Madarao for a week on our first ever trip to Japan. This was the PERFECT place to stay to enjoy the awesome snowfields. Lisa and her team were EXCEPTIONAL... It is defiantly on our list of places to visit again and again."

— Adelaide, Australia

"We stayed at Active Life Madarao for a few nights with our son, daughter-in-law, and their 8 year old twins. What an amazing time. The hotel has a great family 'vibe,' and Lisa, the manager, could not have been more friendly and accommodating. She went out to her way to ensure that we had a great time. The other staff members were the same, friendly and efficient. Nothing was too much trouble. The hot indoor/outdoor bath was so good after a day in the snow. Our rooms were very comfortable and roomy, unlike other hotel rooms we stayed in whilst in Japan!"
