Yufu

Tucked into the inland valleys of central Ōita Prefecture on Kyushu, Yufu is a city whose character is shaped by the Ōita River and the mountains that rise around it. Its best-known district, Yufuin, is a long-established hot-spring resort beneath Mount Yufu, a twin-peaked volcano that forms a defining silhouette in the area. Lake Kinrinko, fed by warm and cold springs, lies at Yufuin’s eastern edge and is known for misty mornings in cooler weather. Beyond the resort streets, Yufu extends through rural communities and cultivated valley floors; the modern city was formed in 2005 from Yufuin, Shōnai and Hasama.
