The host picked me up from the Bullet Train Station! They went above and beyond in every possible way!

The dinner and breakfast are really delicious. And the Madarao Ski Resort is closely. We enjoy the vacation on Madarao and this hostel. All of things are great.

A cosy place with excellent breakfast and dinner. Extremely helpful and caring owners who do all they can to take care of different demands. Very happy with our stay.

Basic hotel but very good location near the ski slopes and good breakfast. Tatami room was reasonably large and comfy for 3 people.

Peter Australia

The rooms were very clean and comfortable with good beds.

Toshi and Yoshi were an absolute pleasure to stay with. There accommodation and amenities were clean and homely. They were very accommodating providing us with breakfast each morning before driving us up the mountain to snowboard. There hospitality was second to none and I could not recommend any accommodation more. If you are looking to stay in Madarao, look no further then Madarao Elm Pension. Both hosts speak great English and provide many insights into the history of Madarao and surrounding towns while always providing 10/10 service. We are hoping to re-visit Madarao and will look no further then Yoshi and Toshi’s place. Thankyou again to Yoshi and Toshi. You made our trip much more memorable!!! We hope to see you again soon!

Checkin wasn’t till 4pm but we wanted to check out the Iiyama snow festival so they allowed us to leave our bags inside the hotels hallway. The hotel is above a Korean restaurant with a little door off to the side to enter. It was a great location with a bus stop to nozawa onsen and madarao right outside and a short walk to the castle park (which is where the snow festival was) and only 10mins easy walk from the train station. We went to nozawa onsen for a day trip after checkout and they allowed us to leave our luggage there while we were away. They have an area downstairs for skis/ snowboard it’s kinda like an open air (but enclosed) laundry area. They do have a couple of washing machines so I’m sure you could ask to use them. They had a communal hot water machine, microwave and fridge on the room level with the sinks. A 7 eleven is across the road and a huge drugstore is just a few doors down which has really good cheap snacks, drinks, alcohol, medicines etc. The owner is a (maybe alittle shy) Korean lady who used a translator (as we speak both English and easy Japanese and she speaks I think easy Japanese and Korean.) We got toothbrushes and tooth paste sachet thingo to brush our teeth.

Location is very near to Togari Ski Resort. Owners were nice and extended assistance with the taxi and directions going to the ski resort. They may not be that fluent in english, but it did not stop them from assisting us.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Really kind to arrange vegan breakfast for us. Always ready to assist and behaved very courteously. The place was very clean and well maintained. The onsen in the hotel was clean and hygienic with all the facilities. I highly recommend this hotel.
