๐Ÿ‡ฏ๐Ÿ‡ตGinrinko Lake, the treasure of Yufuin, sparkling in golden light

#WinterTravel Lake Kinrinko (้‡‘้ฑ—ๆน–) is a beautiful lake where the morning sunlight reflects off its surface, creating golden ripples that sparkle like fish scales. Located in the hot spring town of Yufuin, it's a great place for a stroll while staying at a ryokan. ๐ŸฒSince ancient times, this lake has been considered to have a mystical energy, and a nearby shrine tells a sacred tale of "gods descending and walking on the lake, turning it golden." ๐ŸŒก๏ธ Special Natural Phenomena (Useful Information) โ€ขLake Kinrinko is a mixture of hot spring and cold spring water. This keeps the water temperature high year-round, creating a fantastical steaming landscape even in winter. โ€ขThe dreamy haze that rises from the lake between 7 and 9 a.m. in winter is a particularly striking highlight of Kinrinko! ๐Ÿšถโ™‚๏ธEnjoy Lake Kinrinko 100 Times โ€ข Take a walk around the lake ๐Ÿž๏ธ The reflections of the buildings and mountains on the water are breathtaking. โ€ข Enjoy a cafe & hot spring ryokan โ˜•โ™จ๏ธ The lakeside area is filled with cafes and ryokans with stunning views, making it a great place to relax. โ€ข Visit Beppugawa Shrine โ›ฉ๏ธ The small shrine by the lake is also a great place to visit.

Yufuinโ€™s Dreamy Day Out: Lakeside Serenity Meets Mountain Views ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿž๏ธ Stroll through Yufuinโ€™s inviting streets, where rustic shops, local eats, and artisan galleries set the vibe, then head to the iconic Kinrin Lake for a tranquil finale. Your ideal route: Start at Yufuinโ€™s quaint main streetโ€”drop by bakeries and matcha cafรฉs, and donโ€™t skip the art museums dotting the lane. Wander towards Kinrin Lake; early mornings or late afternoons are best for dramatic mountain reflections and the mystical mist that sometimes hovers above the water. Must-dos: Feed friendly squirrels (a surprise bonusโ€”watch for them exploring nearby!), snap photos of floating ducks, and savor street-side local snacks. Insta-worthy shots: Frame Kinrin Lake with Mt. Yufu rising in the backdrop from the southern shore; try close-ups of the lakeโ€™s Chinese architecture-style pavilions, especially when itโ€™s just turned sunny after rain, as clouds linger photogenically above the peaks. Visiting tips: Yufuin gets crowded in middayโ€”aim for quieter strolls before 10 AM or after 4 PM. Bring both a raincoat and a sunhat; the weather flips between cloudy, rainy, and bright sunshine almost hourly. Many cafรฉs let you rest with a view, so pause and soak in the landscape. Precautions: Streets can be slick after showers, so wear non-slip shoes. The lakeside can attract bugsโ€”bring repellent if you plan to linger. #Yufuin #KinrinLake #JapanTravel #MountainViews #OutdoorCulture
