COME FIND US IN THE POWDERY WHITE paradise

Navigating your way around Japan may seem a bit tricky at first but once you’ve got your bearings its pretty easy.

Our preferred method of Travel is by train and below you will find a step-by-step guide for how to get here. Not so confident with the train system it may be worth considering staying the night in Tokyo but there are other options such as the Nagano Snow Shuttle see here.The last bus from Iiyama station to Madarao leaves at 7:15pm

I highly recommend pre-booking your train tickets as they can get very busy non reserved tickets don’t always allow you to sit together, one option to pre-book is through Klook who also have a great guide on how to use the ticket machines see here
