There are a small handful of rental services available at Madarao, with some of the hotels offering their own rental service, too. The largest and most extensive rental option is Shirakaba Rental, operating out of Shirakaba Restaurant, right near the lift pass ticket box. Swallow Rental is another larger option with high quality gear, operating near the entrance to the slopes.

Some of the hotels will also offer rental services, but there are not dedicated shops to purchase your own gear. However, there is a good English speaking service at the larger shops and the staff are likely able to help you.

The Madarao Kid’s Park is one of the most popular destinations in the resort, with children loving the opportunity to get amongst the action. Admission to the park costs approximately 500 yen per person and rental of a small children’s sled costs around 1,000 yen. This price also includes admission into the Sky House not too far away, where you can go to escape harsh weather.
