Head to Yufuin for a date with the maple leaves!

Hey guys, today I'm going to share with you a great maple leaf season travel guide for Beppu Yufuin in Oita Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan! I took the photos on November 19, 2024, when the maple leaves had just turned red, and Lake Kinrin was unbelievably beautiful! ⭕️ Transportation: If you want to have a better experience from Fukuoka, you can take the JR Kyushu Limited Express "Yufuin no Mori" directly to Yufuin Station, which takes about 2 hours; if you want to save money, you can take the "Yufuin-go" express bus from Hakata Bus Terminal, which also takes about 2 hours. If you are departing from Beppu, take the JR Kyudai Main Line, which takes about 1 hour; take the direct bus, which also takes about 1 hour, and the transportation is super convenient. ⭕️ How to play: From Yufuin Station, it is about a 10-minute walk to the very characteristic Yufuin Street, where there are many handicraft shops, cafes, and dessert shops on both sides of the street, and you can enjoy the local food while strolling around. It is about a 15-minute walk along Yufuin Street to Lake Kinrin, where the water is crystal clear and the scenery is beautiful in all seasons, and there is a mist around 10:00 am, like a fairyland. If you like art, don't miss the Yufuin Stained Glass Museum, where you can admire beautiful stained glass artworks and feel the perfect blend of art and nature. The Yufuin Floral Village, with its European fairy tale theme, is also a great place to take photos. How can you come to Yufuin without experiencing the hot springs? Choose a hot spring inn and enjoy the fun of soaking in the hot springs and relaxing your body and mind. ⭕️ Food recommendations: B-speak cake rolls are a famous dessert in Yufuin, the cake rolls are soft and delicious, and are often in short supply, so remember to buy them early. The crispy and soft Kinsho croquettes are a must-try as a representative of street food. There is also Milch cheesecake, with its rich milk flavor and dense texture that is irresistible. Guys, Yufuin is really beautiful this season, so hurry up and plan your trip!
