Naruko Kanko Hotel

บริการของโรงแรมเอาใจใส่ดีมาก พนักงานอบอุ่นและสุภาพ อาหารเย็นอร่อย และยังมีเครื่องดื่มฟรีให้เลือกมากมาย รวมถึงเครื่องดื่มแอลกอฮอล์ด้วย นอกจากนี้ยังมีกาแฟและเบียร์ฟรีในล็อบบี้... เป็นบริการที่อบอุ่นหัวใจมาก ๆ

Quite an old hotel but has plenty of amenities. Rooms were large but felt dated

很不錯的酒店，提供免費的happy hour和lounge，以及私湯。 酒店房間很乾凈整潔，床很舒服，但是衞浴設施太老了，都生銹了。

鳴子温泉比較好的酒店

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.

かつては賑わった鳴子温泉も今では田舎の温泉地となりました。 到着時の誘導，近隣観光地案内とおもてなしの雰囲気が感じられました。 伝統の宿で建物も古くはなっていますが何も問題はありません。 オールインクルーシブをうたい，食事中も含めてフリードリンク， 日本酒が何種類かボタンを押すと好きな量だけ注げるところがよかったです。 源蔵の湯の名前からは伝統的な料理を想像しましたが， そんなことはなく最近の流行を取り入れたバイキングでとてもよかったです。 ロビー脇に飲み物が用意されているのですが， 朝はモーニングコーヒーという位置づけのため 子供用の飲み物がないところが残念です。
