Showa Memories of Yufuin: Japan's Most Charming Hot Spring Town

Yufuin, this tranquil town hidden on Kyushu Island, attracts tourists from all over the world with its magnificent natural landscapes and long history of hot springs. 🏨 Accommodation: Etavia Yufuin Ekimae (Etavia Hotel - Yufuin Station Front) Staying overnight in such a peaceful town is definitely a treat. I chose the Etavia Yufuin Ekimae hotel, located right opposite Yufuin Station, super convenient. The hotel's self-check-in makes everything simple and quick. Their open-air bath is not to be missed, where you can enjoy the hot springs while admiring the magnificent view of Mount Yufu🌄. 🚶‍♂️ Route: A Day Walking Around Yufuin Morning: Depart from the hotel and walk to Lake Kinrinko. The air is filled with the fresh scent of grass and trees in the morning, and a thin mist occasionally drifts across the lake surface, making it a perfect spot for photography📷. Morning: Then head to Yufuin Floral Village to enjoy the rich variety of plants and the carefully arranged flower beds. Stroll down Yufuin's main street - the path, browsing those unique shops selling handicrafts and local specialties🛍️. Noon: Find a restaurant on the old streets to enjoy authentic Kyushu grilled chicken and Yufuin's special tofu🍴. You can also choose a cafe, sit down to enjoy the flowers, and watch the hurried passers-by. Afternoon: Consider visiting the 'Fairy Tale Town' - a theme area full of fantasy colors, where every corner looks like a scene from a fairy tale book, perfectly blending Yufuin's natural beauty with creative man-made architecture. Evening: Return to the hotel, enjoy an open-air hot spring, and then have a delicious dinner at a nearby restaurant🌆. 💭 Every part of Yufuin exudes tranquility and harmony. The natural scenery and local culture deeply relax and please. Staying at Etavia Yufuin Ekimae makes this trip even more comfortable and convenient. 📝 Plan your itinerary in advance, especially as hot springs and restaurants may require reservations. Yufuin's weather can change a lot, so bring suitable clothing to cope with possible temperature differences🧥. Use the local bus service to more conveniently explore attractions away from the city center🚌. Yufuin is a beautiful place where one can forget daily troubles and find inner peace again. I hope my sharing can help you plan a trip full of wonderful memories🌟.

Throw back to my solo Kyushu trip

Unforgettable experience. Recommend anyone interested to give it a try. Can't wait to visit again!

Looking for Lin Yin's hand-made shop, I want to be the most famous special train of the year - there is a train (yes! Yes, this is called this name). The most memorable classic wooden lunch box in the car is the craftsmanship of this small shop. There is a train with a very luxurious retro gold shell, not only full of aristocratic temperament. A very creative painting, all the names of the trees have the meaning of branches + floral pictograms. A very classic building in the courtyard, the roof above is made of straw, and it is very tight and does not cause fire. wearing a kimono to wear the street, is the most tasteful way of experience in the local area.
