Many people visiting Yufuin Onsen will likely use the train to travel to Yufuin. Designed by Arato Isozaki, a famous Japanese architect, Yufuin Station is an amazing spectacle. Stepping out of the station, visitors will then see Mount Yufu—the symbol of the city. Befitting of the grandeur view of the mountain, the city is spacious with a cozy atmosphere. This is because the entire city has been devoted since 1965 to create such a city.
Small shops, cafes, and gift shops line the sides of Yufumi Dori Avenue and Yunotsubo Kaido Street, which stretch out of the station. Take a stroll along these streets for a delightful experience. Unique to Yufuin Onsen are the many small and large galleries and museums scattered throughout the city. Tourists visit Kinrinko Lake just as much as they do the art galleries. Kinrinko Lake is a pure, fresh water lake that is hot throughout the year due to onsen water streaming into the lake. The steam that rises off the lake during autumn and winter create a fascinating scene that is sure to captivate viewers. Yufuin Onsen is also renown for its many high-class Ryokan inns that provide guests with a luxurious time. There are also more than 30 baths available at these Ryokan for non-overnight guests that provide a pleasant bathing experience for just a few hundred yen.

Yes, Yufuin is famous and every Onsen fans know about Yufuin. What caught my eyes there was the gorgeous view of Mt. Yufudake when I was taking outside onsen. What a moment that was! For your stay, I recommend a bit far from the center ;)
