Madarao Kogen

Madarao Kogen, nestled in Nagano, is a powdery paradise, receiving over 500 inches of snow annually. Its 1,444 feet of vertical provides varied terrain well-suited for those seeking to carve through deep snow and navigate tree-lined glades. It is a destination for the discerning powder seeker.

For the intrepid ski voyager, Madarao Kogen is but one gem in a crown of possibilities. Easily paired with its immediate neighbor, Tangram Ski Circus, or a quick journey to the slopes of Akakura Onsen, one finds themselves amidst a cluster of Japanese delights. The drives between them are mercifully short, offering ample time on the snow.

This mountain, under the stewardship of Tokyo Land Company, presently stands alone on no major passes in our current ledgers. Thus, one procures their ticket direct from the fount, ensuring an unmediated experience of these snow-laden slopes.
