5/5 - Excellent
Nice area. Ski resorts are fairly close to each other. If you are lucky enough to get a shuttle bus services by the accommodation (like we did), you get to enjoy different slopes each day. Excellent views of the mountains!

You'll enjoy the museums and ski areas in Madarao Mountain Resort. You might want to make time for a stop at Madarao Kogen Ski Resort or Tangram Ski Circus.

This deserves much more than an 8.4 rating. We had one of the best ski stays ever at the Arai and we’ve stayed at Chamonix, Aspen, Jackson Hole, and Big Sky. The hospitality and food was amazing with some of the best service possible. The price was so much more reasonable than any other US destination. ...

The property is very dated with no lift only stairs. Basic 3 star and in need of a re fit. Staff were good

It’s just beautiful. They have a shuttle to the ski areas that aren’t walkable. Free shuttle from and to the train station. They were very friendly and helped me set up my luggage transportation to the next ski location.
