Retreat Accommodation

Snowball Chalet is a boutique 3-storey cedar chalet nestled high in the Japanese mountain village of Madarao, just 100 minutes from Tokyo in the heart of the Japanese Alps. It's been designed to meet your every need for a wonderful retreat, combining rustic wabi-sabi character with all the modern comforts you expect.

Snowball Chalet has a lovely lounge area with designer fireplace, 2 stylish o-furo baths (Japanese style tubs), views to the forest and a flat 1-minute stroll to the ski slopes and hiking trails.

With a focus on comfort, style and good old fashioned mountain hospitality, Snowball Chalet is your quintessential cosy mountain chalet in the heart of the village.

Retreat Location

The accommodation at Snowball Chalet is located in the lovely Madarao Mountain Resort. The accommodation is very close to the geographical center of the village and is just a few minutes walk to a really lovely outdoor onsen at the Madarao Kogen Hotel and the village restaurants.

The Chalet itself is located on a quiet street just 5 lodges away from the ski runs and start of some of the snow shoe trails.

Snowball Chalet has beautiful views towards the mountains and looks straight at the canopy of our own gorgeous forest.

The yoga studio is right next door in a brilliant yurt so you don't have far to go for the yoga sessions.
