Explore the Charming Onsen Town in Japan
Yufuin is how Japanese onsen (hot spring) resort towns should be. Too often they’re industrial in scale with enormous parking lots and tour buses blowing your hat off as they roar past on too narrow roads. Yufuin is the resort town built for humans—quaint, walkable, quirky and relaxing.
Nestled in a valley at the foot of Mount Yufu, Yufuin offers a range of things to do if soaking in geothermal water and eating delicious traditional meals at one of the large number of ryokan is not enough for you. Explore beyond the main areas to soak up the rural atmosphere and slow pace of life. Lake Kinrin can be found at the end of the town's main street. There are walking paths around the lake as well as some public baths, shops, and cafes.
Yufuin is a less developed alternative to onsen resort town Beppu, just ten kilometers away in central Oita Prefecture. It is accessible by car, bus and train.
