Yufuin 由布院

Evocative hot springs resort

Yufuin, Japan

Only 10km inland from the larger, more developed onsen town of Beppu, Yufuin is an attractive, evocative little resort with art museums, cafes and boutiques. Many Japanese visitors come here just to stroll about town for the day.

Yufuin can be easily explored on foot. Most of the town's attractions are along the 1.5km main walking route between Yufuin Station and Lake Kinrinko, which features some lovely walking paths. Baths are spread out all across town.

Yufuin is on the western side of twin-peaked Mt Yufu, which is a great backdrop for scenic views and photos.
