Photo Collection 16: Yufuin - Hot Spring Resort

Yufuin (http://www.yufuin.gr.jp) in Oita Prefecture is one of the most famous and popular onsen (hot spring) resorts in Japan. It’s quite close to Mt. Aso. You should not miss both of them when in central Kyusyu.

My wife usually stays at Nihon-no Ashitaba (or two bundles of reed. http://www.2hon-no-ashitaba.co.jp/index2.html), when she visits Yufuin.  It's probably the most magnificent hotel in the area with the gorgeous bathing facility and great hospitality.
