Your mountain home in breathtaking Myoko.

Your ski-in, ski-out retreat where practical design meets Japanese hospitality.
More than a stay. Namazu is a homecoming to culture, and calm.

Rooted in Japan. Inspired by adventure.

In the mountains of Myoko, Japan's powder paradise, Namazu Lodge blends the ease of modern comfort with the heart of traditional hospitality.


Founded by Australian hotelier Michael Deer, the lodge is part of the growing Shika Family of

Stays, designed for travellers who crave authenticity, warmth, and adventure.


At Namazu, every detail has a purpose: solid timber beams, generous spaces, and all the small comforts that make you feel instantly at home.



Comfort designed for life on the mountain

Whether you’re carving first tracks or enjoying your first taste of Japan’s snow, Namazu Lodge gives you the perfect base to rest, refuel, and reconnect.


Every room has an ensuite, heated floors, and everything you need to recharge in total comfort.

The Retreat

A warm, efficient space made for quiet nights and deep rest after a day on the mountain.

The Alpine Escape

Spacious and adaptable, ideal for small groups looking for comfort, connection, and room to move.

Ski. Soak. Share stories.

Wake to mountain air, chase powder at Tangram Ski Circus, and end the day soaking in the hot tub or fireside with a drink from the Namazu Bar.



Our open-plan lounge and restaurant bring people together. From breakfast before the first lift to

relaxed dinners filled with laughter and local flavour.


At the heart of Japan’s snow country.

From the slopes to the springs, Myoko is pure magic. And Namazu is your key to it all.


Namazu Lodge sits at the base of Tangram Ski Circus, with shared lift access to Madarao Mountain Resort. Within 20 minutes you’ll find Myoko Suginohara, home to Japan’s longest ski run, and nearby Nojiri Lake and traditional onsens that capture the quiet beauty of this region.




Namazu Lodge is perfectly positioned for both adventure and tranquility. You’ll find us just 10 minutes from Myoko Kogen Station, within easy reach of Myoko Suginohara, Nojiri Lake, and the region’s famous onsen villages.

Find us in the heart of the Japanese Alps. Where mountains, lakes, and onsens meet.

Your journey to Namazu Lodge begins in the heart of Japan’s snow country, surrounded by peaks, powder, and peaceful springs.
