Stop at the entrance area of Mount Yufu, one of Kyushu’s most iconic volcanic mountains
Often called “Bungo Fuji” due to its resemblance to Mount Fuji, the mountain offers stunning natural scenery. Although this is not a full hike, you can enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, fresh mountain air, and take memorable photos of the dramatic twin peaks rising above Yufuin.
30 min
Explore Yufuin, a charming hot spring town known for its relaxing countryside vibe and storybook-like streets
The town is filled with boutique shops, dessert cafes, art museums, and local craft stores.

The peaceful rural scenery and artistic atmosphere make Yufuin one of Japan’s most beloved getaway destinations.
2 hours
Visit Kinrin Lake, a scenic lake famous for its mystical beauty
The lake is partly fed by hot springs, which create a gentle mist over the water during cooler seasons, especially in the early morning.
