Morning Mist and Kinrin Lake of Yufuin

Kinrin Lake in Yufuin is a rare lake where hot spring water and fresh water spring from the lake bottom. In early mornings from autumn to winter, morning mist envelops the lake due to the temperature difference between the warm lake surface and cold outside air. The silhouette of Kinrin Lake wrapped in mist and Yufu Mountain creates a fantastical landscape, moving you with this special appearance of Yufuin that can only be encountered in early morning. After a morning mist walk, enjoy breakfast at a café on Yunotsubo Street. If you stay in Yufuin, this is a spectacular view you must experience by waking up early.
