We stayed in early November 2023. The room was fine. Nothing special, but clean and roomy. The staff were friendly and helpful. We didn't need English support so I can't say if any spoke English. The onsen is standard good. The rotenburo was quite hot but felt good in measured doses after a day of hiking and one's skin feels silky smooth after soaking in the sulfur baths of this region. The lobby has a decent coffee machine and some complementary beverages. The food was nothing short of excellent and made the stay a success. When making our reservation we opted for set courses and we inquired beforehand if they could do a vegetarian course. Some places will say ”no”, some will not answer you, and some will say ”yes” but you find the chef has little experience with vegetarian meals and it ends up being very tofu heavy. Naruko Kanko Hotel's chef clearly knew what he or she was doing: the set was varied and delicious. I have provided a photo of dinner (before the rice, soup, and something else I can't recall now arrived). The seafood course, selected by my companion, was reportedly equally good. Breakfast (another photo provided) was also very good. As a domestic traveler in Japan, I have stayed at any number of hotels and ryokans over the years and this was one of the best set courses I have had. On the down side, the amenities, which one picks up in the lobby, were very basic, and strangely there were no towels in the room besides the two onsen towels, large and small, i.e. the sink area of the bathroom had no hand towels and we had to ask at the front desk for some. That was excessive cost-cutting, I think. The most recent review here prior to this one appears to be from 2016 and some things have changed, not that they impacted our stay. There is no longer karaoke nor a separate bar. I imagine these were casualties of greatly reduced tourism during the pandemic, which many hotels nation wide are still trying to recover from.

３月２５日に仙台空港からレンタカーで向かいました。高速を利用して２時間弱で到着しました。玄関前には駐車係の方が待機していて、荷物を下ろしてフロントへ向かいました。フロントスタッフの手際良いチェックインができました。部屋は青葉館の11階の和洋室。東向きの部屋で、窓から温泉の湯気の立ち上るのも見え、温泉気分が盛り上がりました。早速、名湯の鳴子の湯を味わいに向かいました。大浴場は紅葉館にあり、連絡通路を６０ｍほど進んで、エレベーターを乗り換えます。男女の大浴場が１階・２階に分かれてありました。 好みの硫黄泉でアルカリ性の泉質で、十分温泉の醍醐味を味わうことができました。食事はブッフェで提供され、満足できるものでした。会席も聚楽という別会場でいただきましたが、量が十分すぎる程でした。朝食時に９０歳超の大女将がライブキッチンで作っているあんころ餅は３日連続で食べさせてもらう程お気に入りになりました。2日目は雨天で、温泉三昧で過ごしました。おやつに「ぼたもち」を持ってきてくれました。感激しました。スタッフは様々な場面で、皆さん笑顔で対応してくれました。「おもてなしの心」が随所で感じられるホテルでした。個人客のリピーターが多いのも納得できました。各地の名だたる温泉地へ足を運んでいますが、総合力で最上位に入る「鳴子ホテル」でした。
