About

Opened in 1873 and continuously run since, Naruko Hotel sits in the heart of Naruko Onsen with its own three sulfur source springs. The mineral chemistry varies enough that the bath water visibly changes color over the course of a day — milky on a high-sulfur morning, clearer in the afternoon. Around 80 rooms across modern and traditional wings; kaiseki dinner features Miyagi-grown rice, locally-foraged sansai mountain vegetables, and Sendai beef. English website and reception are available; the property has hosted international media and is a common English-friendly recommendation for first-time Naruko visitors.
