Operating lodge | Renovated | Strong income potential

Sweet Spot Madarao is a fully operational, renovated lodge positioned at the heart of one of Japan’s most exciting multi-resort zones. Just 20 minutes from the Shinkansen at Iiyama and moments from Madarao Kogen’s famed tree-run powder, this is a rare walk-in, ready-to-operate asset with strong early-season bookings and immediate revenue potential.

The property includes 10 guest rooms with underfloor heating (3 with ensuites), a warm reception lounge, breakfast/dining room, ski & dry room, and separate male/female bathrooms. Extensively refurbished in recent years, it is offered with a valid lodge licence, fire certification, furnishings, and existing online booking accounts.

A major advantage is the interconnected 4-bedroom annex apartment—ideal for staff accommodation or as a standalone rental for families and groups. This setup maximises yield while providing operational flexibility throughout the season.

Sweet Spot sits within easy reach of Japan’s top snow destinations:

  • Madarao Kogen – 1-minute drive / 5–8 minute walk
  • Myoko Kogen – 30 minutes
  • Nozawa Onsen – 40 minutes
  • Lotte Arai – 40 minutes

With limited lodge inventory in the area, recent renovations complete, and strong forward bookings, Sweet Spot Madarao represents a compelling turnkey investment in a fast-rising resort destination.
