Where Mountains Meet Magic

Discover Japan’s snow country. A land of deep powder, quiet onsens, and endless adventure.
From your base at Namazu Lodge, the best of Myoko is right at your door.

Japan’s Hidden Powder Paradise

Nestled in the heart of Nagano Prefecture, Myoko is one of Japan’s oldest and most authentic ski regions. Known for its incredible snowfalls, breathtaking mountain scenery, and warm local culture.


Far from the crowds of larger resorts like Niseko, Myoko offers a more personal kind of adventure: pure powder runs, traditional onsens, and a community that welcomes you like an old friend.

Ski-In. Ski-Out. And Then Some.

Wake up and step straight onto the mountain. Namazu Lodge is perfectly positioned at the base of Tangram Ski Circus, shared lift passes with Madarao Mountain Resort.


Together, Tangram and Madarao offer a huge variety of runs. From gentle slopes for beginners to deep powder and tree skiing for seasoned riders.


For those chasing the ultimate downhill experience, Myoko Suginohara is home to Japan’s longest ski run
(8.5 km), and it’s just a 20-minute drive away.

Experience the Heart of Japan

Myoko isn’t just about mountains. It’s about the people, traditions, and tastes that make this region unforgettable.


Explore local restaurants, sample regional sake, or take part in a community festival celebrating the area’s deep roots in craft and culture.

Each stay at Namazu Lodge is a chance to connect with Japan’s heritage in a genuine, respectful way — through its food, its warmth, and its natural rhythm.

The Magic Doesn’t End When the Lifts Stop

After the last run of the day, the mountains reveal a quieter kind of beauty. Soak in the local onsens (natural hot springs) that have been part of Myoko’s culture for centuries, or wander through the nearby towns known for their sake breweries and apple orchards.


During the green season, the region transforms. Think lush trails open for hiking, mountain biking, and lake adventures at Nojiri Lake, just minutes from Namazu Lodge.


No matter the season, the air here feels different. It’s crisp, clean, and alive.
