#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.

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.

"🚞Yufuin Forest in Yufu City, Kyushu🚞" "Yufuin Forest" is one of Kyushu's characteristic trains🚞 Usually you will take the bus to the last stop, Yufuin Station. The train is very exquisite and has a sense of age. Food is available for purchase on the train so you don't have to worry about going hungry. There are also commemorative stamps and check-in scenes🤳 What I like most is the scenery, people and animals along the way. People waved to us when we passed the middle station 😆 It really feels like being in the world of animation. Very interesting🤣 Although the journey takes about 2-3 hours, it doesn't feel boring at all I also shared some of the attractions and food in Yufu City. I highly recommend Yubu Kamameshi 🍱 It has a light charcoal aroma 😋 It is a place worth visiting #fukuoka #hotelrecommendation #hotel #goodplaceforthenewyear2025 #hotspring #fukuokatrip #yufuin #yufushi #yufuinforest #fukuokatrip #fukuokafood #fukuokatravel

💺How to choose seats in Yufuin-no-Mori? Please bookmark this super view🔖🔖 Many people who go to Yufuin Forest 🚞 will choose to set off in the morning~ But we wanted to go to Beppu to see the sea hell early in the morning♨️, The first train leaves Hakata Station at 9:17am. So I decided to take the Yufuin Forest Tour on my return trip to Fukuoka, so I can catch the sunset at the same time🌇 This popular sightseeing train runs between Hakata and Yufuin/Beppu. The entire journey passes through the mountains and valleys of Kyushu 🪑Retro carriage, 2+2 rows of seats, super spacious seats Very suitable as a highlight of a day trip to Yufuin or Beppu✔️ 📅 This car needs to be booked one month in advance~ For example, if you want to take the 5/20 train, you have to go in and grab a ticket at 10:00 am (Japan time) on 4/20! 📍You can book through the JR Kyushu online booking system It is recommended to apply for membership in advance so that you can grab the spot immediately on the opening day! We grabbed the tickets on time at 10:00 Japan time that day, and surprisingly managed to book seats in the first row of the first carriage! At the moment I was thinking: "Maybe this position is actually okay?" The result is super~ awesome~✨ Please take notes for this position📝👇 ✔️ The first row can see the cockpit ✔️ The whole glass window has a complete view without blind spots, and you can also see the front of the railway The whole road is super smooth, you can relax and take beautiful photos📸 🕔 We took the bus that departed from Yufuin at 17:11 and arrived in Hakata at 19:28 It happened to be the golden hour of sunset, the whole carriage was dyed orange and gold by the sunset, the atmosphere was super dreamy🌅 There is another small detail that I like 👀 Although the conductor was alone in the cockpit But every time I check the time or look around, I raise my hand and make a gesture~ So cute! I also fully feel the professionalism of Japanese workers👏👏👏 🍰 Important point: B-Speak cakes are sold on the bus! ! ! 🧁B-Speak is a specialty of Yufuin, almost everyone has a bag of it But the store only sells whole cakes, no single slices or half cakes... And we asked the store clerk that if it is not refrigerated, it must be eaten on the same day! The two of us couldn't finish it. 💡 Finally, we bought a mini package on the Yufuin Forest Car! As soon as we drove up, we rushed to buy it. We were so lucky to have bought it. And the price is affordable, super considerate! There are only a limited number of them prepared for each car, so you really have to queue up as soon as you get on the car! 📅 Another little surprise: there are commemorative stamps on the car that can be stamped! You can also write down the date of your trip, which is perfect for making a travel diary or giving yourself a memory card🖋️✨ 📍Address: Yufuin Station to and from Hakata Station 💰Per capita consumption: Adults ¥5,190 (JR Pass Kyushu Tour Ticket can be used for free, but you still need to make an online reservation one month in advance and pay an additional seat fee of ¥1,500) 🕰️Time: There are several buses every day, the journey takes about 2 hours and 10 minutes, and the earliest one departs from Hakata Station at 9:17～ 👉 It is recommended to take the bus departing from Yufuin at 17:11, which is right in the evening sunset time🌇! 📌 If you are planning to visit Fukuoka, you must save this article! #Register for April Hotel Test Sleeper 2025 #Yufuin Forest #Kyushu Travel #BSpeak Cake

#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

Resort Express "Yufuin no Mori" A cool express train with a deep green color! If you're heading to Oita or Yufuin, be sure to try it! *All seats are reserved, but it will inevitably be crowded.

Fukuoka, mid-November to early December is the autumn foliage season.

#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
