Yufuin

Onsen Town

Yufuin is an onsen town about 40 minutes by car from Beppu. In peak travel times, it is VERY crowded, and getting into the old/central part of town is next to impossible by car. By motorcycle, it was barely tolerable - so you may want to park just out of the outskirts somewhere. If you go to the train station, there is often a volunteer with maps to help you find any destination within the town. There are many onsen here - many free sento-style tubs, as well as other nicer ones that you pay for. My favourite is Shitan-yu.
