Yufuin Half-Day Trip

Rated as the most dreamy vacation destination by Japanese netizens⛱️, Yufuin is located in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu. You can reach it by taking the JR train. Upon arrival, you can start exploring the shopping street on both sides and take a leisurely walk to the famous Kinrin Lake at the back. Kinrin Lake gets its name from the golden, fish-scale-like reflections created by sunlight on the water. There's also a torii gate on the lake, making it a perfect spot for stunning photos! We recommend purchasing the JR PASS for Northern Kyushu, which allows you to reserve a seat on the special Yufuin train—definitely worth trying! 🕰️ Operating Hours: Open 24 hours 🚂 Transportation: Take the JR train to Yufuin Station and walk from there 📍 Address: 1561-1 Yufuincho Kawakami, Yufu, Oita 879-5102, Japan 🚉 Suggested Duration: Plan for about a morning or afternoon. If you plan to enjoy a hot spring bath, consider extending your stay.
