Plan Your Stay

A room, or the
whole lodge.

Konamori has nine private ensuite rooms. You can book one of them, or you can book all nine and have the lodge to yourselves — the bar, The Table at Konamori, the sauna and hot tub and the ski room included. Both are normal here. Neither is the exception.

The lodge is open through the winter season — this year, 20 December 2026 – 9 March 2027 — with additional dates added when the snow allows.

Option one

Book a room

A couple, a family, two friends chasing a storm. You'll share the table and the fire with whoever else is here that week — which, most winters, is the part most people rave about afterwards.

The Retreat
Ensuite rooms built for deep rest. Three of the nine.
From ¥36,000 per night
The Loft
Loft rooms with a sleeping platform above — room for a family or a group of friends who'd rather stay together. Six of the nine; the largest sleeps five.
From ¥46,000 per night
Minimum stay
Two nights during the season.

Option two

Take the whole lodge

Four or five families, or a group of friends who've been talking about this trip for years. Nine rooms, one table, nobody else. The lodge stops being a hotel and starts being a house.

Sleeps
Up to 33 across the nine rooms — beds convert between kings and twins to fit the group.
What's included
All nine rooms, the Namazu bar, the dining room, the sauna and hot tub, the ski room, and the lounge — for the length of your stay.
How it works
Tell us the week and roughly how many of you — we'll quote your exact week within a day, hold it while your group settles, and handle one booking rather than nine.
From
¥450,000 per night (about US$3,000), depending on the week and the size of your group.
Best for
Whole weeks, Saturday to Saturday — though we’ll happily talk about shorter.

The booking calendar is live — it shows exactly what's open for your dates, at the real price for that week, and takes about two minutes end to end.

If your week looks gone, write anyway. Groups shift, and we hold a room back.

Getting here

Tokyo to the lodge
in about two and a half hours.

For most international guests, the simplest route is through Tokyo — one of the best-connected cities on earth. Fly into Haneda where you have the choice — it is closer to Tokyo Station. Land in the morning and you can be at the lodge for dinner; land later and a night in Tokyo makes the trip easier.

Tell us your arrival and we will work backwards from it.

By train
Hokuriku Shinkansen from Tokyo. Best option: change at Nagano for the local line to Myoko Kogen, ten minutes from the lodge — we meet every train there. From Iiyama, about 30 minutes away, we run scheduled pick-ups on arrival days, and the Madarao shuttle connects between.
By car
About three and a half hours from Tokyo via the Joshin-etsu Expressway. Winter tyres or chains, always.
By bus
Direct highway coaches run Tokyo → Madarao in season. Slower, cheaper, no changes.
Transfers
Station pick-up from Iiyama or Myoko Kogen; private airport transfers on request.

Before you come

Good to know.

The lodge is being renovated. Work runs through autumn 2026 and finishes before the season opens. The interiors shown across this site are renderings of the completed work, marked as such wherever they appear. Photographs replace them once the building is finished.

Dinner is shared. One table, one sitting — unless you've taken the whole lodge, in which case the table is yours. If you'd rather eat alone, Madarao and Myoko have good places and we'll book you in.

The winter season is short. Roughly late December to mid-March, which is when the snow here is genuinely good rather than merely present. Green-season stays open from 2028.

Rent a vehicle for the full experience. We highly recommend it — vehicles rent quickly and early here, so plan far in advance to make sure one is available.

It's a mountain road. Winter tyres or chains if you drive, and tell us when you're close.

Questions

Common questions.

Is Konamori the same place as Namazu Lodge? Yes. Konamori is the same building under new ownership and a new name. Bookings made under Namazu Lodge are honoured, and the bar keeps the Namazu name.

Is Konamori part of Mori Lodge at Tangram? No. Mori Lodge is a separate, self-catered property at the same resort. Konamori is a staffed nine-room lodge with breakfast included and dinner at a shared table.

How far is the lift? A three-minute walk to the Tangram Ski Circus lifts. Tangram connects with the Madarao ski area.

When does the lodge open? The winter season opens with a first night of 20 December 2026. Check-in is from 15:00 and check-out is by 10:00.

What is included in the rate? Rates are per room per night and include breakfast and Japanese consumption tax. The Nagano prefectural accommodation tax is charged in addition, per guest per night. Dinner at the shared table is booked separately.

How do I get there from Tokyo? Take the Hokuriku Shinkansen to Nagano, then the local line to Myoko Kogen station, ten minutes from the lodge, where we meet every train. Allow about two and a half hours from Tokyo.

What is the cancellation policy? A 50% deposit is taken at booking and is non-refundable once paid. The balance is charged 60 days before arrival; bookings made within 60 days of arrival are charged in full.

Walk three minutes. Ski until your legs give out. Come back to a fire.
