Oita, Japan: 10 Things to do in Yufuin

I was in Yufuin last 2017 on a day-tour from Hakata, where I also shared things to do in Yufuin.  On my second visit this spring 2023, I stayed for two nights together with my sister.  This time, we decided to take an almost two-hour bus ride from Hakata bus terminal from the Willer Express website.

Japan: Oita: 8 Things to do in Yufuin

Yufuin, Oita, Kyushu, Japan

Yufuin is two hours away travel by train from Hakata station in central Fukuoka.  If you're in doubt in visiting the place, don't!  Some might be torn between Yufuin or Beppu, but what made me choose this is that the attraction is very much accessible by foot from the train station
You might think that the street shops are tourist trap, but it's not.  It is a joyful experience of unending sweet treats along the way until you arrive at the end of the road with the view of the lake and a serene garden.
