Madarao Kogen Mountain Resort
MadaPOW!
Frequent, gigantic Siberian winter storms passing over the sea of Japan results in the crystal-like, fluffy and deep powder, famously nicknamed MadaPOW. Skiing and snowboarding in Japan is unlike anywhere else in the world and Madarao has begun to redefine Japanese snow holidays by giving visitors to Madarao the best conditions in Japan, along with small crowds and inexpensive lift tickets!
Madarao Mountain Resort, also known as Madarao Kogen, sits on the border of two of Japan's snowiest prefectures, Nagano and Niigata. Located between the resorts of Nozawa Onsen and Myoko Kogen, Madarao is easily accessible via the snowy and beautiful town of Iiyama ("ee-yama"). A comfortable 100 minute Shinkansen (bullet train) ride from Tokyo followed by a 25 minute shuttle or taxi up the mountain, you can begin those deep powder turns within a day of arriving into Japan!
