From the moment we arrived at Yufuin station, our stay at Gekkoju was an absolute dream. This is, without a doubt, the most luxurious resort-style hotel I have ever experienced in Japan. ​Our experience began with the incredible staff member, Divas, who was waiting for us at the station to whisk us away. Divas is truly amazing and deserves a raise! Arriving at the property, we were mesmerized—it is truly beautiful. Divas then took the time to professionally and kindly explain every single room amenity, the schedule, and all available services in our suite. ​The luxury continued with spa staff members meeting us for an in-suite treatment, which was also flawless. Our suite was already welcoming with a record player on and an insane array of luxurious amenities. Don't even get me started on the snacks and minibar—I instantly wanted to hoard everything! ​The dinner was an experience I almost want to keep secret! The modern delicacy, utilizing fresh local ingredients, was catered perfectly to our age group. It was easily the best Kaiseki meal I have ever had. Again, Divas professionally prepared and explained every single part of the dish. Did I mention the thoughtful gift of our own name-engraved chopsticks? Breakfast the next morning was equally flawless. ​Divas went above and beyond, providing seamless transportation, picking us up and dropping us off everywhere we went. I am honestly regretting not taking the chance to stay another night here instead of going to Kamenoi Bessou, as I hear the second-night dinner is at the restaurant itself! ​Gekkoju Yufuin is highly recommended for anyone seeking an unforgettable, deeply luxurious, and personalized stay. ​Key Takeaways: ​Service: Beyond exceptional, especially Divas (A++) ​Accommodation: Truly mesmerizing, ultra-luxurious resort suite ​Food: The best Kaiseki meal I've ever had ​Details: Personalized gifts and flawless amenities ​Overall: A perfect, "speechless" experience.

The room, service and food quality are superb.
