Recommended travel destination near Japan's small town, Yufuin: Lake Kinrinko.

Lake Kinrinko is a popular photo spot and must-visit attraction in the hot spring town of Yufuin, Japan. Thanks to the geothermal heat from the hot springs, the lake's water is warm, and if you arrive early in the morning, you can witness the breathtaking sight of gentle mist rising from the water. It's a perfect day trip destination from Fukuoka, making it an ideal choice for exploring nearby small towns. Don't forget to take a commemorative photo in front of the lake!

[How to enjoy Yufuin Kinrinko Lake 200%] The main attraction of Yufuin travel!! It's Kinrinko Lake! Kinrinko Lake is not as big as you think, but if you take your time walking from one end to the other and take pictures at different points at different angles, it's really fun to take pictures📸🖤 This Kinrinko Lake is a really pretty landscape to draw and color with acrylics or watercolors. As expected, there were people sitting on the grass in front of the lake and drawing pictures.🎨(Refer to photo 5) They say that the mist on the water of Kinrinko Lake is spectacular in the early morning when it rains, so if you are staying in Yufuin, visit Kinrinko Lake at dawn😊 I visited in late summer and saw Kinrinko Lake full of greenery.🌿🌱 It must be really pretty during the fall foliage season.🍂🍁 Photos 6-9 📍cafe la ruche, Cafe La Ruche Cafe La Ruche is a cafe with a view next to Kinrinko Lake that is so popular that it takes up 80% of the results when searching for cafes in Yufuin. There are indoor and outdoor (terrace) seats, but of course, to fully enjoy a cafe with a view, you have to sit on the terrace. The terrace was full, so we waited for about 15 minutes before we could use it.☺️ I had a mango shaved ice because I wanted to eat and use the cafe, but there are also menus such as pizza, pasta, and brunch, so it would be nice to have a meal.! *** As with most cafes with great views, the prices are a bit outrageous..😅 For your reference ~ #JapanTravel #Japan #FukuokaTravel #Fukuoka #YufuinTravel #Yufuin #CafeLaLuche #YufuinCafe #FukuokaCafe #JapaneseCafe #Cafe #MangoBingsu #japan #fukuoka #yufuin #cafe #cafelaruche #winterTravel #trainTravel #hotspringTravel #NextTimeHere #LifeTravelDestination #LifeShotSpot #RecreationTravel #WinterTravel

【Accommodation recommendation】 Recommended accommodation area: too many choices, it is recommended to choose accommodation with hot springs Hotel name: かわもと別庭３４６６ Hotel address: 346-6 Yufuincho Kawaminami, Yufu, Oita 879-5103 Japan 【Photography and check-in spot】 The scenery of Kinrin Lake is very good and the water is very clear. You can see many carp. Unfortunately, it was drizzling that day 【Tips】 It is recommended to travel by car, but the road to the village is very narrow, and you need to have certain driving skills
