Kinrin Lake is a beautiful lake that can be considered a symbol of Yufuin. Especially in the morning, the sight of mist rising from the lake’s surface is enchanting and it is well-known as a popular photography spot. Due to the hot springs that flow nearby, in winter, the steam rising from the lake creates a truly magical landscape.
