Yufuin - Lake Kinrin

Lake Kinrin is a tranquil lake located in the Yufuin (Yufuin Onsen) hot spring area of Oita Prefecture, Japan. Renowned for its dreamy morning mist, it is one of Yufuin's most iconic natural attractions. The lake's name originates from the poetic imagery of fish shimmering like golden scales in the water. It is about a 20–25 minute walk from JR Yufuin Station. After arriving at Yufuin Station, it is recommended to allocate approximately three hours for your visit. You can enjoy a meal near the station and take a leisurely stroll around Lake Kinrin, which takes about 20 minutes. 🕰️ Opening Hours: Open for free exploration all day 💰 Average Cost: Free
