Around Naruko Dam × Stays Popular For Snow-View BathsHighly rated for rooms and amenities at Hotel·Ryokan

Thank you for hosting us for one night starting August 13. Although the weather was unfortunate, we could really feel the attentive support from your staff—from guiding us in the parking lot upon arrival at the Hotel to check-in. Before dinner, we used the private bath to recover from our long trip. It was great that no Reservation was required, there were many types of tubs, and the water temperature was just right. After the bath, my skin felt smooth and silky, which made me feel wonderful. We were very happy that it was all-inclusive. The beer after the bath was amazing. For dinner’s kaiseki course, I chose beef tongue shabu-shabu; both the portion and flavor were outstanding. The gentleman who assisted us at the restaurant had exceptionally polite and wonderful manners. I was born and raised in Sendai, but I have lived away from my hometown for a long time now. Miyagi rice is something we can proudly boast about to The whole country. We enjoyed it very much. The eggplant miso at breakfast reminded me of my mother’s cooking. I had known since childhood that Naruko has many Accommodations, but I’m truly glad we stayed at Naruko Kanko Hotel. We would love to visit again. Thank you very much for everything.

The meals, the Onsen, and the service—everything was absolutely satisfying!! The lounge and the puzzle-solving activities were also very enjoyable. I would love to visit again. Although I had mistakenly made a Reservation for a smoking room, I truly appreciated how quickly you accommodated my request to change it. Thank you very much for all your help. Thank you.

The Onsen water quality is unquestionably top-class. My wheelchair-using parent could also access the private family bath and move around the property with ease. Thank you. Opinions may vary about the meals, and I can’t say how true gourmet diners would feel, but we really liked the half-buffet. Personally, I think a full buffet would be fine. It’s a very good Ryokan.

The Onsen water was originally great, but when I stayed again after a long time, it had improved even more. It was already silky-smooth, but this time it also had a stronger sulfur feel and a milky-white appearance—absolutely wonderful. (Just my personal impression.) I don’t usually leave comments, but this was the best so far, so I wanted to share my thoughts. I would like to visit again. Thank you.

I stayed for one night with my elderly parents. The Onsen was, of course, wonderful—we stayed warm right up until bedtime. We were also able to bathe in the Onsen at affiliated Hotels and in the public baths, so we could truly enjoy Naruko’s famous hot springs. It was absolutely fantastic. At the buffet dining venue, my elderly father has back problems, so carrying a tray and serving himself while standing between other guests in line seemed like it would be a challenge. However, there were carts to place trays on, which allowed him to serve himself without bothering others and move around comfortably. We also loved the wide variety of options and the fun of choosing from them—my father was very happy as well. One disappointing point is that it likely depends on how many guests there are that day, but quite a few dishes—including desserts—were marked as “available until gone.” In the latter half of service, even if portions were smaller on smaller trays or plates, I hope the same selection as at opening time could be kept available. We would like to stay again as a family with my father.

Located in a quiet and scenic area slightly away from the Onsen town, the building is old but well-maintained and clean. Both breakfast and dinner are delicious and satisfying. The bath is very warming, and I could feel positive effects on my body. Although bathing is available only until 8 AM, I had no complaints. The 10-tatami Room comes with a toilet, allowing for a relaxing stay with check-in at 1 PM. I would love to visit again.
