Yufuin Kinrin Lake - beautiful scenery, mysterious torii, a representative attraction of Oita Prefecture.

Kinrin Lake is a representative attraction of Oita Prefecture and a popular attraction in Yufuin Onsen. It is located within the hiking circle of the hot spring town. The total length of the lakeside trail is about 400 meters, and it takes about 10 to 15 minutes to walk around it. The lake is surrounded by lush green forests on all sides, and not far behind is the verdant mountain "Yufu". Because it is located at the foot of Yufu, Kinrin Lake was originally called "Takemoto Pond" locally. The greatest charm of Kinrin Lake lies in its beautiful scenery, which is surrounded by woods and has mountains as a background. There is a Kamikami Torii in the lake, which originally belonged to the Tenso Shrine. It is also a unique feature of the lake, a small torii built in the water. #Lake #100 Ways to Travel
