Loved our stay - can’t say enough! The rooms were clean, big and comfortable. The location was perfect to ski madarao, but equally other parts of the region. And the food- OMG! Soooo good! We’ll be back!

One of our dreams for our honeymoon was to go skiing in Japan and we were so lucky & grateful to have booked with The Brueys! Kate and Adam, as well as the whole staff, create an amazing atmosphere where you feel warm, welcomed, guided through not only an amazing experience at Tangram mountain (the slopes are walking distance to the lodge and the powder was epic in mid Feb!), but everything else from transportation, booking a snow monkey tour (also a dream), to onsen etiquette (so special!).The rooms are beyond comfortable - I learned that they custom made a lot of things like their fluffy and huge towels! - and have gorgeous views which really made us relax and fully embrace nature after being in the city.Can we talk about the food?! The Brueys has an amazingly talented chef who cooked delicious and healthy meals for dinner each night. I miss some of those dishes right now!Best of all, Kate and Adam have a cute dog named Mr Frizzle Chan who embodies their whole vibe - they are awesome, loving hosts who really want each of their guests to enjoy their time, which we did to the fullest. Staying at The Brueys was the absolute highlight of our honeymoon across Japan (no joke!) and we are so grateful we found them and the community they've created. Can't wait to go back. Thank you Kate and Adam!!!

Enjoyed a really nice couple days at The Brueys Lodge. Everything was top notch. Food was delicious, rooms were super comfortable, the dog was cute…What I found truly unique was the warmth. The warmth of the staff and owners was wonderful, and started in the caring communication over email, continued through the stay and ended as we waved goodbye. And the warmth of the lodge itself. I can’t remember the last time I walked around inside during the winter in Japan in socks and felt perfectly comfortable - which made watching the snow fall through the trees at night a treat!

Staying for 7 nights, on night 5 now and loving every minute, I don’t normally leave reviews but just had to jump on here now and let the world know. The Brueys lodge is only a 4 min walk to lift 6 on Tangram. You’re on the runs in 10 mins. They have a warm cocktail bar for apres that is open late and a restaurant serving up delicious food from an international chef. The owners (Bruey and Kate) and staff make you feel like royalty. Bar is open late but is downstairs and away from the rooms, so you wouldn’t even know people were having drinks and chats till 12am. The beds are super comfortable, I’m sleeping like a baby. I like Madarao but this lodge at Tangram and the surrounding restaurants have a way more traditional feel, so you can have amazing food, yum drinks, have a great time, meet a bunch of nice travellers but not feel like you’re just in another over run, sloppy bar full of drunk travellers. Worth every cent!!! The owners have been in talks with locals to open up their guest only restaurants to the public and two have agreed. We ate at both of the restaurants and both had set menus - the food was incredible!! 5-7 courses and so delicious. I have 2 more nights left here and I’m already planning my next trip back. This is the lodges first season too… what!? First season and already doing amazing things. Unbelievable!

The Brueys Lodge: Wowed by Food & Friendly FacesThe Brueys Lodge had me at "hello"! The staff were super welcoming, and their free shuttle service was a lifesaver for getting around the mountain. The restaurant itself? Think classy and cozy, all rolled into one.Now, about the food...as someone who's traveled the world and tried all sorts of eats, I gotta say, this place ranks high on my list. The flavors were incredible - creative yet respectful of tradition - and everything looked amazing on the plate. Seriously, you gotta try it!Booking ahead is a must, because trust me, you won't be disappointed. The Brueys Lodge is top-notch when it comes to hospitality and food. Already dreaming of my next trip to Japan, just so I can go back and experience it all again!

While staying in Madarao the staff at Brueys made our experience so easy with a shuttle bus ride to and from our accommodation, the atmosphere in the venue was beautiful with a stunning view and great vibe from other customers, owners and staff. The food is second to none on the mountain complimented well with a great range of beers and wines, cannot recommend Brueys lodge enough! Can’t wait to go back.
