Gekkoujyu

Gekkoujyu was the overall best for me, the room onsen with view is jaw dropping, as is the mountain top onsen.
The whole guest room was very pleasant and very convenient. The in-room dining table has footbath.
Service by Ms Kurumi was perfect, she served dinner and breakfast in our room. Food was very good.
Everything felt like this is the property for me. Before the trip I planned that we stay 2 nights at Takefue, but I am glad that I changed the plan to visit Gekkoujyu as well.
(apologies for the portrait layout photos)

Izayoi room. First wow moment. Window can be closed if too cold outside and shower is right next to the onsen.

Mountaintop onsen which can be reserved at check-in. At 3pm in Nov it was already shaded and no direct sunlight.
