[2025 Yufu ] Travel Guide for KYUSHU RAILWAY COMPANY (Updated Jun)

Kyushu's charming hot spring town of Yufuin in Oita Prefecture is like a serene landscape painting nestled at the foot of Mount Yufu. Hop aboard the retro-style sightseeing train "Yufuin no Mori," where you'll enjoy views of lush mountains and winding valleys through the windows. Upon arrival, stroll along the Yunotsubo Kaido street, lined with creative dessert shops and various unique stores, offering plenty of photo-worthy surprises. 👍 Must-try treats include Yufuin Milch pudding 🍮 and Yufu Mabushi rice 🍚. Another unmissable spot is Lake Kinrin, which becomes especially enchanting in the morning when mist rises from the water, creating a dreamy atmosphere. Sit quietly by the lakeside and feel as if the world has slowed down. You can also ride a rickshaw through the streets or soak in a hot spring to completely relax your body and mind.

One of the most anticipated transportation experiences during my visit to Kyushu, Japan, was taking the popular sightseeing train "Yufuin-no-Mori" from Hakata to Yufuin and Beppu in Oita Prefecture. The booking process for this train is actually very simple. I selected the departure time and seat through the official website of JR Kyushu, and received a confirmation email after payment. After boarding the Yufuin-no-Mori train, the atmosphere in the entire carriage made me feel very relaxed. The interior of the train has a strong European and elegant style. There are many pictures of Yufuin scenery and some exquisite details on the decoration. Walking in it feels like walking in the forest. The overall atmosphere makes people feel very comfortable. There are many facilities on the train and a variety of meals are provided to make the ride more enriching. I specially ordered the "Yufuin Wheeled Rice" for 1,000 yen (tax included). The portion was generous and the taste was quite delicious, which made me even happier when I enjoyed it in the car. Overall, the ride on the Yufuin Forest was very pleasant. Whether it was the comfortable carriage or the beautiful scenery outside the window, this trip was full of memories. If you also plan to go to Kyushu, be sure to book in advance and experience this beautiful sightseeing train for yourself! #MarchGoodPlaces2025

#Overseas travel There are many ways to get from downtown Fukuoka to the small city of Yufuin, but I recommend taking the Yufuin no Mori train, which is the most famous and has both emotion and romance. Of the two, the limited express train and the Yufuin Monori (Mori no Mori) train, I definitely recommend the Monori! I recommend riding it even through a reservation war 🤍 JR homepage member sign-up > Pre-register payment card > Date opens at 10:00 one month before departure date > Select train seat & time with 森 character and reserve > Bring QR ticket and board (If you choose a real ticket, bring the credit card you used to pay and exchange it at Hakata Station ticket office) ▪️Hakata -> Yufuin: 5,160 yen (1 person/one way) 🛋️ The best seats for departure from Hakata to arrival in Yufuin are the 1st car, 1st row C, D The most competitive best seats! And the 1st row seats are the hottest! But if you failed to get the first row, I recommend you to quickly reserve any seat on the c,d lines of the first car. I sat in 9 c,d, and I was satisfied with the romantic feeling and saw the waterfall. ㅎㅎ I didn't really feel like I had to? The first row? Instead, I recommend you to definitely get the first car! ㅎㅎ 🍱 Buy a bento at Hakata Station Ekibento before boarding, and then ride Yufuin no Mori and have fun eating. ㅎㅎ There are various types of lunch boxes and there are quite a few Ekibento stores, but if you go to the biggest store, you'll get the most types, so go to the biggest one! Aside from the bento, I went to Family Mart's Mentaiko Mayo Onigiri Rice Ball Wangchangsa, so please eat that with the Jebeol Bento.. plz. And there are many bakeries in Hakata Station, so make sure to take some desserts with you. 🥐 #Japan

#FukuokaTravel #yufuin #hakatastation #fukuokaairport It was a busy day. I left home early in the morning and went to Taoyuan Airport. I flew to Fukuoka Airport and took a bus to Hakata Station. I groped my way forward and got on the Yufuin-no-Mori train, and finally arrived in Yufuin. The train that condenses the charm of Yufuin is the "Yufuin Forest". The interior is filled with the warmth of wood. You can feel the resort-like atmosphere the moment you board the train. There is a sales department on the bus, and the service lady is very friendly. It was a small attempt. #trainbento #trainfood #Japantravel

#springsummer2024 Kinlin Lake is located in Oita, Japan. We took the Yufuin Forest Train and walked about 30 minutes from Yufuin Station to Kinlin Lake. However, this short 30-minute journey took us almost an afternoon🤣 because the small shops and snacks on both sides would make us stop accidentally😮💨 We finally found Jinlin Lake. Because hot springs flow into the lake, white smoke is emitted from the lake all year round. We walked around Jinlin Lake, admiring the reflections on the lake surface, taking pictures and enjoying the beautiful scenery. 📍Jinlin Lake Address: 1561-1 Kawakami, Yufuin-cho, Yufu City, Oita Prefecture #Japan #Yufuin #Jinlin Lake

At this time, the train will also slow down so that everyone can see it. Finally, the train attendants will also hold a board with the day's ride date for passengers to take photos. This is a very good service. Due to space limitations, I will only describe my experience of the ride. There are many other interesting places in Yufuin, and I will share them with you when I have time.

📍Yufuin Yufuin arrived by taking the Yufuin no Mori train! There are many places that feel like typical Japanese houses, so it was especially Japanese! Even if they're not famous, they're all pretty, so I think it'd be good to just stop by a lot of places ㅎㅎ🤗 #JapanTravel

📍Yufuin Who said that there's nothing to do in Yufuin if not the hot springs?! I went on the same day and it was hot so I didn't go to the hot springs, but I spent all my time looking around? It was amazing that there were already so many Christmas decorations even though it was September 🫢 #JapanTravel #Yufuin

Yufuin-no-Mori is a famous sightseeing train in Kyushu. It is one of the must-see attractions when visiting Kyushu. The train departs from Hakata in Fukuoka and goes to Beppu, a hot spring town, passing through Fufuin.  Its retro green body, wooden floor interior, and the beautiful countryside of Kyushu along the way add a lot of popularity to this train. There is a huge glass on the front of the Yufuin-no-Mori train, so passengers can enjoy the unobstructed beautiful scenery up close. The Yufuin-no-Mori train has reserved seats for the entire train, so you need to make reservations and reserve seats in advance to ride. #Overseas Travel

#summervacay #yufuinnomori #thingstodo #kyushutrip Traveling solo doesn’t mean traveling alone—especially aboard the Yufuin no Mori. Starting from Beppu, where JR Pass holders can easily book tickets at the counter, I boarded with excitement and zero hassle. The train’s polished wooden interior, lounge seats, and panoramic windows created a cocoon of calm. I journaled. I watched light scatter through the trees. I arrived in Yufuin with a clear head and a full heart. Travel Tip: Reserve in person at Beppu Station—simpler and cheaper than online. Yufuin’s slow rhythm matched mine perfectly. It’s the kind of place where you walk slower, sip longer, and listen more—to the wind, the water, yourself.

Yufuin is a charming hot spring town located in Fukuoka Prefecture, Kyushu, Japan, famous for its natural scenery, traditional architecture and hot spring culture. Each season in Yufuin has its own characteristics: cherry blossoms in spring, lush greenery in summer, fiery red leaves in autumn, and a world of silver in winter. The hot springs here are highly regarded for the purity of their waters and their therapeutic properties, providing a space for travelers to relax and enjoy themselves. A large number of Japanese-style buildings are preserved on the streets of the town, making people feel as if they are in Japan's past, full of cultural and historical atmosphere. Yufuin's cuisine is also one of its charms, from traditional Japanese food to local sweets, such as Yufuin Milch's pudding, half-baked cheesecake, and Kinsho croquettes, all of which are delicacies not to be missed. In addition, there are many food stalls and restaurants in Yufuin that offer a wide variety of food, allowing visitors to taste it while walking. Although you cannot eat while walking, the store clerks will guide you to designated locations to enjoy it. Kinrin Lake is a major highlight here, especially in autumn and winter, when the lake surface will produce mist due to the temperature difference, adding a sense of mystery. There is also a legend of a dragon in the lake, making this place not only a visual enjoyment, but also a good place to relax the mind. YUFUIN FLORAL VILLAGE is another fantastic attraction. Although small, the park is exquisite. With various themed buildings and animal decorations, visitors feel as if they have entered a fairy tale world. It is a great place to take photos and relax. Our trip to Yufuin started with leaving Canal City Fukuoka Washington Hotel at 7am and taking the express train to Hakata Station, where we enjoyed the beautiful cherry blossom scenery along the way. Although we didn't get to book the Yufuin-no-Mori train, we still enjoyed a day full of delicious food, beautiful scenery, and fun. On the return trip, although I went to queue for free seats early, I found that I didn’t have to worry about seats and I could still enjoy the scenery along the way. Yufuin is not only a great place to relax, but also a great place to explore Japanese culture, enjoy food and art, and it will bring an unforgettable journey no matter when you visit.
