Yufu, Mountain resort city in Oita Prefecture, Japan
Yufu sits among mountains reaching 1,000 meters, with Mt. Yufu in the north and Mt. Kuro in the south creating natural boundaries for the city.
The city emerged on October 1, 2005, through the consolidation of three distinct towns: Yufuin, Shonai, and Hasama, forming a new municipal entity.
The Shonai Kagura performances maintain local traditions through masked dance rituals that tell stories of Japanese deities and historical events.
The Yufu City Tourist Information Center provides visitors with maps, guides, and recommendations for exploring the city's hot springs and hiking trails.
Lake Kinrin produces mysterious steam in the early morning when hot spring water mixes with the cold surface, creating natural thermal phenomena.
