About this spot
Yufuin Onsen, embraced by the majestic nature of Mt. Yufu, is a hot spring resort among the most popular in Japan. In contrast to the liveliness of Beppu, it has a quiet, calm townscape and is the perfect place to spend a grown-up holiday. The main stroll is along "Yunotsubo Kaido," running from Yufuin Station to Lake Kinrin. Stylish cafes, general stores, and shops serving local food line the street, and you can walk leisurely while eating as you go. At the end, "Lake Kinrin" is famous for its fantastic morning mist seen on early winter mornings, and its beautiful scenery in every season charms visitors. The hot springs are characterized by soft waters known as beauty-skin springs. Many inns have open-air baths with unique touches, and soaking while gazing at Mt. Yufu is an exceptional luxury. Many places offer day-use bathing and foot baths, so it can be enjoyed in your own style, whether as a casual solo trip, a girls' trip with friends, or a family trip. Yufuin is also an art town, with museums and galleries scattered around. Why not spend a special time here, soothing all five senses and refreshing body and mind?
