Stepping into a Fairy Tale Hot Spring Resort.

Yufuin in winter is truly magical! ❄️ As someone who frequently travels to Japan, I have fallen in love with this charming little town. Yufuin Street, adorned with snow, showcases a unique Japanese style. Strolling through it, the small shops 🛍️ on both sides offer exquisite handicrafts and local delicacies, making it a feast for the eyes. In the cold weather, warm udon and ramen 🍜 are must-try delicacies, especially the local dango 🍡, which is sweet but not cloying, leaving a lasting impression. Of course, a visit to Yufuin wouldn't be complete without experiencing the hot springs! Soaking in the steaming hot springs while admiring the snowy scenery outside the window is the ultimate winter pleasure. ♨️ This trip to Yufuin made me appreciate the unique charm of Japan in winter. Whether it's the food, culture, or natural scenery, it leaves you wanting more. For your next trip, make sure to add Yufuin to your list! 🏔️ Transportation: 1.
