エクスクルーシブ・プライベート・スキーロッジ

Nestled in the snowy embrace of Madarao Kogen, Aya Lodge is Madarao's first exclusive private ski lodge - 12 rooms, 30 beds, and a blend of western comfort with Japanese charm. Built for families, couples, and groups chasing an unforgettable alpine escape.

A 200-metre stroll from the slopes, with mountain views, a warm welcome, and one of Madarao's finest Western-style breakfasts. Unwind in the lounge bar or games room after a day of shredding powder.

Ski drying room, laundry, personalized service - every detail is covered. Guests come back year after year, and once you've stayed here, you'll understand why.
