We had wonderful stay at Xplore by Active Life. This property locate in middle of the town which we can go to restaurant, shop or ski lift in few minutes walk. The staff were very kind and helpful. Our room was very comfortable, we felt so relax when we came back to our room. Bed and pillow were also soft and good. We recommend Xplore and will come back next season.

Everything! The hosts were friendly and helpful, they even recommended new spots to visit! The room was spacious and there were nice common areas, everything was super clean and the area around the house is beautiful. The house it’s a bit far from the station but they can pick you up and drop you there by car. It was a great stay!!! 100% recommend :)

Maybe we were lucky to share the pension with respectful guests, or maybe the rooms had better insulation than most places, but it was really quiet. The beds were old but comfortable and the hosts were very helpful. Breakfast and dinner were good, too!

The hosts were so nice, they were there at the bus stop to help with our luggage and drove us around the town several times. The location is easy to walk to restaurants or the ski slope. It was comfortable and had several common rooms to relax, watch movies, and games. It felt homey.

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!
Everything was wonderful and the best part was the service. Led by Lisa, the team was always friendly, accommodating and helpful…eg. suggesting good outside dinner venues and booking them for us (shabu shabu 1km away was amazing), plus helping us with transport whenever we needed etc. The Deluxe room was good value for money and we slept really well as the bed mattress was like a five star hotel, and the temperature control was consistent. We’ll definitely be back.
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 :)
We travelled during the biggest snow storm of the year and got stuck on the road for 16 hrs. But Vicki, El and Mayu helped to turn that ordeal into a fun stay at Hotel Madarao. This hotel is a gem in this town. The staff are super friendly and very considerate. We missed our first night of stay but they were all considerate and helpful! We will definitely go back and stay just here every time!
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.
First, the location is amazing. Togari is a small town but still, the hotel is located right in front of the bus station, the resort, and the best restaurant of the city. For that I highly recommend this place. Our guest were very nice as well. The room were very functional but clean, and there is a little shared Onsen downstairs.
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!
Note: Stayed in the Separated Apartment
The location is SUPERB. Literally ski-in/ski-out. Apartment also comes with access to the hotel's onsen, which is quite spacious and includes a sauna and outdoor pool. Apartment can comfortably sleep four people and includes a well-stocked kitchenette.
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.
Owner is welcoming and helpful. Everywhere in the house is clean. Room is comfortable. Very homey hostel. Not really walkable during winter but free pick-up from Iiyama station is available.
Friendly and helpful staff, location is perfect, snow resort just located right in front of the hotel. Breakfast is tasty, room is spacious and comfortable, highly recommended
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.
