Morning mist, the presence of the mountain.
In the clear, uncrowded morning, Mount Yufu and the town slowly come awake.

Mountain, river, fields and morning light. Step beyond the lively streets and into the natural rhythm of the land.
THE SLOWER SIDE OF YUFUIN

and the landscape draws near.
Yufuin is more than a collection of sights. Walk its morning roads, feel the wind move through the fields, pause at a quiet shop and taste what the season brings. Leave room in the day, and travel at the pace of the light and air.
