    Yufuin’s distinctiveness is on show as soon you arrive by train. Within the coal-black wooden station building, designed by local architect Arata Isozaki in 1990, is a waiting room that doubles as an art gallery. There is also a foot spa on the premises where you can immerse your feet, watch the trains come and go, and ready yourself for Yufuin’s relaxed pace.

    Lake

    Seen as the symbol of Yufuin, Lake Kinrin is a mystical lake that is fed in part from hot and cold springs at the lake bottom. The name Kinrin, which literally means “golden scales,” is said to have been coined by Mori Kuso, a Confucian scholar from the early Meiji period (1868-1912). He noted the way the scales of the fish in the lake shone golden in the light of the setting sun.
