The city
Yufu is the municipality that includes Yufuin, the hot-spring village in a green basin beneath Mount Yufu, about 25 km from Beppu. It has ryokan scattered among rice paddies, Yunotsubo Street with shops and cafés between the station and Lake Kinrin, which often gives off mist on cold mornings, and the trail up Mount Yufu.
