We had wonderful stay at Xplore by Active Life. This property locate in middle of the town which we can go to restaurant, shop or ski lift in few minutes walk. The staff were very kind and helpful. Our room was very comfortable, we felt so relax when we came back to our room. Bed and pillow were also soft and good. We recommend Xplore and will come back next season.

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 :)

Maybe we were lucky to share the pension with respectful guests, or maybe the rooms had better insulation than most places, but it was really quiet. The beds were old but comfortable and the hosts were very helpful. Breakfast and dinner were good, too!

The hosts were so nice, they were there at the bus stop to help with our luggage and drove us around the town several times. The location is easy to walk to restaurants or the ski slope. It was comfortable and had several common rooms to relax, watch movies, and games. It felt homey.

The cottage was very clean with lots of amenities; the dryer particularly came in handy. The cottage also supplied bath towers which was really nice. Awesome view of the mountains around the area. The little garden for the BBQ was really nice. Very nice to hang out in the living room / kitchen area - very comfortable for us and our dog.

Madarao is a small village about 25 minutes away by bus from Iiyama. It is very accessible from Tokyo by Shinkansen. Dinner has to be booked in advance since there are not too many choices. People are very friendly, as Japanese are usually are, and try to accommodate as much as possible.

The fact that I’m leaving a review at all means that we really loved the place. I’m not the social media type so rarely leave reviews and when I do I’m always conservative so 8/10 is excellent. (Hope it doesn’t bring down your average 😕). Loved the chalet, good size, sparkling clean, super friendly staff and very comfy bed and facilities. Would highly recommend you to everyone. Sigh, missing it as I type this to be honest.

The igloos in Kamakura Snow Village was very interesting.
The igloos in Kamakura Snow Village was very interesting. We even built a snowman! Maguse Onsen was a good experience with its outdoor onsen overlooking the Kijimadaira ski area. Wish we had known about the temple trail in Iiyama town earlier to plan for it. Maybe next trip.

Iiyama is the gateway to ski field heaven - in winter.
Iiyama is the gateway to ski field heaven - in winter. The train station is only 5 years old and is very modern, clean and well laid out - transferring to buses is smooth and moving around is helped by elevators and escalators.
The Information Centre was staffed by a young lady who spoke English beautifully and is very helpful. You can send your ski gear from there via Kuroneko to avoid lugging it onto the Shinkansen.
There is a walking tour you could do in summer to take in the local sights - some of them being a doll museum, paper making, onsen, cycling ... depending on the season.

I came to Iiyama to walk the Shin-Etsu trail, and I had decided to walk it without a guide, which proved to be quite the challenge, and everyone at the visitor center were incredibly kind and helpful in order for me to finish walking the trail, and I am so grateful for that. I would definitely recommend walking the trail, but with a guide!
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.
The managers (Lisa and Stuart) were extremely welcoming and accommodating. They went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and help with our plans, which made it felt more like a B&B than a hotel.
Active Life is in a great location close to the mountain. The room was a good size and there were plenty of communal spaces to hang out. We’d definitely stay at Active Life again for future trips to Madarao!
The host was very welcoming. The location was great for ski-out (for everyone) and ski-in (for intermediate above skier).
Room was a bit old but fine. The bathroom was a bit (too) small. No tissues in the room, but toilet paper in the bathroom. Breakfast was simple but good. Only the host and her sons are running the place, so breakfast can be slow when the hotel is full.
Overall good experience :)
This place was so amazingly friendly. Served very traditional Japanese breakfast and dinner meals, which was a very new thing to this American traveler. Ski resort was a 5 min walk from hotel. My sense of time was very slow but the hotel staff was so helpful by accommodating reminders for breakfast and dinner. Hotel view was very beautiful.
First, the location is amazing. Togari is a small town but still, the hotel is located right in front of the bus station, the resort, and the best restaurant of the city. For that I highly recommend this place. Our guest were very nice as well. The room were very functional but clean, and there is a little shared Onsen downstairs.
Location was quite nice. Walking distance to Madarao Ski Resort. The building was quite old but have been renovated. It is a little bit unique to have Japanese Room but not with futon. So It is like a fusion hotel.
I hope they can fixed the onsen soon as it is very important to sink after tiring day.
Overall nice stay.
It was large enough to be comfortable in and not feel crowded but small enough to be cozy. It felt like staying in a friend’s place rather than a hotel and we liked that. The location was ideal, a short walk to lift and among all the eating and drinking places. I had snowboard courses and that was great too.
The hosts were great, and the house was very cozy. They have delicious homemade dinners with all kinds of drinks and good breakfast as well. The hotel is pet-friendly so we met a few cute dogs. There was a heavy snowfall on our last day but Mark helped all his guests get to the slopes. Thank you!
Super efficient check-in (which isn't always the case!). Rooms are a bit dated, though very functional. Buffet breakfast was good, and lovely views from the restaurants and cafes in the hotel. Nice enough onsen. Can't beat the convenience of the location!
Great location for the ski hill and nice hotel. The bar offered a lively social area and they onsen was fantastic. The breakfast had a great selection. Parking was on site.
Walking distance to ski lifts. Good food at good price. Not a luxury hotel, but if you're looking for good value for skiing, this place was great. Staff were very helpful
Cost and casual place to stay for a ski/snowboard trip. Very friendly staff and the location for the hotel is very good. I was on the slopes after a 5 min walk.
