It’s taken me too long to write this review but I couldn’t not! This was our first trip to Japan & certainly won’t be our last. I booked this hotel based on reviews & they lived up to them all. The location is great, only a short walk to lifts, the food was excellent & Lisa went above & beyond as a host. As a family of 4 we stayed in the family room. Plenty of room, very comfortable beds & pillows. Breakfast & dinner were excellent. Very warm, friendly feeling. Kids play areas off the dining. Bar staff always available for a drink & great coffee in the morning. There are a few great places to eat near by but we found eating in was just too good. The karaage chicken was still the best we’ve ever had! The onsite onsen was amazing! Outdoors, surrounded by snow. The kids running out & jumping in the snow & then back in the onsen was such a great experience. Thank you so much for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!! We can not wait to stay again…

Active life is well situated a short walk to the slopes and the bars and restaurants of Madarao. The standout is the experience that Lisa and her team create. It's a homely place with good size rooms and amenities where you are made to feel extremely welcome and nothing is too much trouble. There's a lovely onsite bar and Matt the barman was super friendly and had a great playlist! Breakfast is good with both hot and cold items. Freshly cooked items offered include eggs and bacon or specials such as pancakes and French toast. Lisa creates such a wonderful experience I couldn't recommend this place highly enough for a cosy place to stay!

Great staff who make your time at Madarao even better. They keep watch on what’s happening around the resort and let you know any events coming up or any weather conditions to be alert to on the mountain. The resort is great for a wide range of runs including powder and trees The outdoor onsen is a perfect place to relax after a busy day of skiing. The rooms are very large with extremely comfortable beds and kitchen has very good food for breakfast and for dinners. There is a discount the ski hire place for staying here. Overall ALM makes your holiday at Madarao a great experience.

Second stay at Active Life Madarao and we are already looking forward to the next one! The hotel is very conveniently located, close to the ski lift - you can actually “ski in”. Rooms are cosy and comfy, dinners are very reasonably priced and plentiful. The staff and Lisa, the manager, are very nice and helpful. It was the perfect ski gate-away!

We stayed at Active Life Madarao for a week on our first ever trip to Japan. This was the PERFECT place to stay to enjoy the awesome snowfields that Madarao has to offer. Lisa and her team were EXCEPTIONAL. Nothing was too much and Lisa always had suggestions and was able to guide us. Th family room was very roomy for a Japanese Hotel with the beds being heavenly comfortable. It was an easy walk to other restaurants in the area and also the slopes. As I said NOTHING was too much for Lisa to organise or assist. If you want to go see the Snow Monkeys, get Lisas advice. If you want to know where to go eat, ask Lisa. If you need to send your snow gear on to your next destination or the Airport, ask Lisa. If you want to know the best way to get back to Tokyo or the Airport, ask Lisa. If you are looking for that special type of accomodation in the area and not just be a room number but a true guest you cannot go past this fantastic location. Thank you to Lisa and the team. It is defiantly on our list of places to visit again and again.
