[🇯🇵Yufuin] Yufuin Kinrin Lake - A lake enveloped in a mystical morning mist

Lake Kinrin is one of the iconic spots of Yufuin, Oita Prefecture. Located in the center of the hot spring resort of Yufuin, this lake shows beauty in every season, but the scenery with morning mist is especially like a painting. The mountains and trees reflected on the lake surface create a fantastic atmosphere that attracts visitors. The origin of the name of Lake Kinrin It is said that the name "Lake Kinrin" was given because the light reflected on the surface of the lake made the fish scales look golden. This lake has the rare characteristic of hot springs and clear water mixing, and the water temperature is relatively high throughout the year, so morning mist often rises, especially in the cold season. Fantastic morning mist scenery The biggest attraction of Lake Kinrin is the morning mist that appears early in the morning. This phenomenon, created by the steam from the hot springs and the temperature of the lake water, can be seen especially on cold mornings from autumn to winter. As the sun rises, the moment when Mt. Yufu peeks out from behind the mist is a truly spectacular sight. We recommend taking a stroll around the lake and enjoying the mystical scenery. Enjoy the cafes and shops by the lake There are cafes and souvenir shops with a relaxing atmosphere scattered around Lake Kinrin. There are cafes where you can enjoy breakfast while looking out at the lake, and you can taste dishes and sweets made with local ingredients. It's nice to stop by between walks and spend a delicious time with the lake scenery. Summary If you visit Yufuin, the morning mist of Lake Kinrin is one of the sights you should definitely see. The tranquility of the lake and the fantastic atmosphere created by the mist unique to hot spring areas are sure to leave a lasting impression on visitors.
