Yufuin onsen was voted "female's favorite onsen" in Japan. I can definitely see why! The town is quite small it doesn't take more than half a day to go around. Whats impressing was, there were so many sweets shops. Oh maybe that's why its so popular among females. My top 3 food from Yufu - 1) cheese cake - so smooth and eggy.

It's probably the most magnificent hotel in the area with the gorgeous bathing facility and great hospitality. ... read more
