One of Yufu's historical attractions is the Yunohira Hot Springs area, known for its positive effects on gastrointestinal health. It has been a therapeutic haven since the 17th century. To the north of Mt. Yufu lies the Tsukahara Hot Springs, where the water has a highly acidic pH of 1.4, which is particularly effective in treating various skin conditions.
Another must-visit attraction is Kinrin Lake, an enchanting body of water fed by hot springs, maintaining a warm temperature year-round. The name Kinrin, meaning gold scales, was inspired by a Confucian monk who observed the shimmering effect of the evening sun on the fish scales in the lake. During autumn, the lake is enveloped in a mystical, steamy morning mist, creating a breathtaking scene.
In Yuhu City, you can experience traditional Japanese Kaiseki dishes in hot springs. The area is also known for its famous crispy croquettes.
