Yufuin lies in a broad basin below Mount Yufu, and is known for a soft, simple alkaline hot spring water and a townscape of small ryokan, galleries and craft shops rather than high-rise hotels. Morning mist over Lake Kinrin is part of the local ritual, along with private open-air baths at the inns.
