Yufuin's Signature Landscape: Serene Waters Reflecting Lush Greenery

About this spot

A scenic gem representing Yufuin, this small lake is famous for mystical morning mist created by the convergence of hot spring and fresh water from the lake floor. Walking paths line the shore, perfect for leisurely strolls while taking in the calm waters and surrounding greenery. Lakeside cafés and souvenir shops dot the area, making it convenient to rest while exploring. This remains one of Yufuin's most popular and must-see attractions.

Season & hours

Name: ゆふいん盆地まつり

Date & time: 8/15 (Sat)–8/16 (Sun) Time TBA

Venue: 由布市湯布院町・由布院駅周辺商店街通りなど

由布院駅周辺の商店街通りを主会場に、2026年は8月15日・16日の2日間にわたって開催される、由布院盆地を挙げての夏祭りです。由布岳に見守られた盆地の町なかに提灯が灯り、盆踊りの輪が広がる様子は、温泉地としての賑わいとはまた違った、地域に根ざした夏祭りの温かさを感じさせてくれます。観光客も地元の人々も一緒になって踊りの輪に加わることができ、由布院での思い出の1ページになる夜です。

Tips

会場周辺は夜になると人出が増えるため、子どもとはぐれないよう注意しましょう。盆地は夜になると気温が下がりやすいため、薄手の羽織ものがあると安心です。

Tips

Walking trails can narrow in places; be mindful of others when crowds gather. Summer shade is limited in some sections, so sun protection is essential.
