Yufuin Hot Springs Review

Totally recommended! Yufuin is a small hot spring village that takes about two hours from Fukuoka. Stay at the ryokan and have a warm hot spring and a delicious Kaiseki and breakfast.

Yufuin which is in the middle of Oita Prefecture is an amazingly tranquil and scenic place to spend some quiet time of connecting within and recharging. You will see beautiful mountain views of Mount Yufu all around and padi fields. which give such a calming effect. What is outstanding is also that there are so many hot springs around! In fact, Yufuin is designated as a National Hot Spring Health Resort where numerous visitors come to soak in them. My current experience is at the private accommodation of Yawaraginosato Yadoya where there are very clean public baths and private onsens for guests. The staff here are super friendly, helpful and able to speak excellent English. It is impressive! I have no doubt that you’ve have most wonderful memories should you get a chance to stay here.

Yufuin, Oita Prefecture, Kyushu Island, more than four million people flock to it every year. The hot springs and natural beauty are pleasant. Seeing Yufuin symbolized by Yufuin, the building coexists with the surrounding natural environment.

In the past so many years, Yufuin has no modern high-rise buildings, no cold cement buildings, and still retains the original rural style.

There are many upscale cafes, souvenir shops and small museums. Next to the station is the Visitor Information Service where you can rent bicycles and book carriages. In this quaint town, you can feel a sense of nostalgia.
