In April 2018, the "Inbound Promotion Association OITA" was established as a collection of individuals and companies in Oita Prefecture that promote inbound tourism (travel by foreign visitors to Japan). Later, in July 2023, it was reorganized and renamed as the General Incorporated Association "Inbound National Promotion Council" and focused on four issues in the tourism industry: "Developing tourism human resources," "Discovering tourism materials and collecting information," and "Disseminating information and promoting." In order to solve the problem of "improving the receiving environment," we are developing various projects nationwide based on specific measures.
Must-see scenery
Lake Kinrinko
When you come to Yufuin Town, you can't miss Lake Kinrinko. Kinrinko Lake, located about 1.5 km from JR Yufuin Station, is said to have hot springs gushing out from the bottom of the lake, and morning fog forms due to the temperature difference from autumn to winter. If you have the opportunity to stay at a hot spring inn in Yufuin Town, be sure to go and see this fantastic scenery.
Kissho Kaiuntei Mugenzo
A recommended hot spring inn is Kissho Kaiuntei Mugenzo. Located in the center of Yunotsubo Kaido, it is very convenient to Lake Kinrinko and the station. When you open the door to your room, you can enjoy the lively cityscape and the cheers of people with all five senses. When you close the door, you will find yourself in a quiet, private space that feels like another world.
Shops I would like to visit
There is a shopping street called Yunotsubo Kaido between JR Yufuin Station and Lake Kinrinko, and it is lined with a variety of shops, restaurants, and hot spring inns. When you come to Yufuin Town, be sure to look for attractive products such as Japanese manga characters and specialty products.
Yukiya
I recommend a general store called ``Yukiya'' near Lake Kinrinko. We have a wide selection of souvenirs, accessories, handmade crafts, incense, popular goods such as cat handles and barahan, as well as fashionable accessories such as accessories, clothing, and hats. It is introduced from 3:03 to 3:27 in the video above, so please take a look.
Eating while walking
There are also a variety of gourmet restaurants along Yunotsubo Kaido. It feels really good to eat while walking while looking at the beautiful scenery.
Matcha ice cream, extra-large takoyaki, Bungo beef skewers, various juices, and the list goes on and on.
Gold prize croquette
We recommend the long-popular ``Gold Sho Croquette.'' There is a wide variety of croquettes, and the freshly baked croquettes are crispy and fluffy, making you feel very happy when you take a bite.
