Guest Houses in Iiyama

Esther Jia Le Singapore

Super cosy! Bath water is very hot

Andrea Spain

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 :)

The dinner and breakfast are really delicious. And the Madarao Ski Resort is closely. We enjoy the vacation on Madarao and this hostel. All of things are great.

Everything….the 2 bedroom apartment was modern, clean and had plenty of space for a family of four! The view out of the window was just spectacular! Hosts were amazing - so incredibly helpful and generous! Loved the convenience of having the hosts drop you door to door from apartment to anywhere in madarao you wanted to go! Literally call them when you want to go somewhere, even the ski slopes and they are there straight way to take you! Exceptional service, facilities and value for money!

The FTM is very warm, and this kind of forest cabin is the dream of people from southern China for the snowy winter season. The hotel is right next to the ski slopes and even within walking distance.There are good restaurants right next to the hotel which is very convenient. Nick and Karina is from Australia. They are very friendly and nice. My family had great help with transportation to Nozawa Onsen and to the Shinkansen station from Nick & Karina. Three nights of stay is a wonderful experience.

Basic hotel but very good location near the ski slopes and good breakfast. Tatami room was reasonably large and comfy for 3 people.

Toshi and Yoshi were an absolute pleasure to stay with. There accommodation and amenities were clean and homely. They were very accommodating providing us with breakfast each morning before driving us up the mountain to snowboard. There hospitality was second to none and I could not recommend any accommodation more. If you are looking to stay in Madarao, look no further then Madarao Elm Pension. Both hosts speak great English and provide many insights into the history of Madarao and surrounding towns while always providing 10/10 service. We are hoping to re-visit Madarao and will look no further then Yoshi and Toshi’s place. Thankyou again to Yoshi and Toshi. You made our trip much more memorable!!! We hope to see you again soon!

Checkin wasn’t till 4pm but we wanted to check out the Iiyama snow festival so they allowed us to leave our bags inside the hotels hallway. The hotel is above a Korean restaurant with a little door off to the side to enter. It was a great location with a bus stop to nozawa onsen and madarao right outside and a short walk to the castle park (which is where the snow festival was) and only 10mins easy walk from the train station. We went to nozawa onsen for a day trip after checkout and they allowed us to leave our luggage there while we were away. They have an area downstairs for skis/ snowboard it’s kinda like an open air (but enclosed) laundry area. They do have a couple of washing machines so I’m sure you could ask to use them. They had a communal hot water machine, microwave and fridge on the room level with the sinks. A 7 eleven is across the road and a huge drugstore is just a few doors down which has really good cheap snacks, drinks, alcohol, medicines etc. The owner is a (maybe alittle shy) Korean lady who used a translator (as we speak both English and easy Japanese and she speaks I think easy Japanese and Korean.) We got toothbrushes and tooth paste sachet thingo to brush our teeth.
