Lake Kinrin is one of the representative sightseeing spots in the Yufuin area. It is located at the foot of Mount Yufu. It was formerly known as Yuexia Pond. Later, a Confucian scholar saw the lake glittering like fish scales under the setting sun, and it was renamed Kinrin Lake from then on. In addition to the runoff injected by Yubuyue, there are also natural springs at the bottom of the lake, so Jinlin Lake is actually half a hot spring lake. In winter, the hot spring water meets the icy lake water to produce fog, which lingers around the lake and mountains, like a dream.
Reviews from Real Guests:
도시맘: Yufuin sightseeing is the first tourist point is the hot spring, and then it is also good to see Yufutake mountains, walk through the foggy Ginrinko, and experience the nearby shrine. As a traveler who simultaneously appreciates Ginrinko in summer and Ginrinko in winter, the scenery with water fog in winter is more mysterious and beautiful. There are also various food and shopping streets in Yunotsubo shopping streets, so it's fun to visit. Especially in Yufuin, I definitely recommend cycling around the village. Peaceful and beautiful.
Rachel Rachel Jin: At the end of Tomb House Store Street is Jinlin Lake, Green Water and Green Mountain, very beautiful

도시맘: Yufuin Onsen Tour is the second time, but I felt really good every time I went. I traveled in summer and winter, but the hot springs are really good in winter. Yufuin is better to go to Kinrinko Lake by hot spring and bicycle and go around the village. And Yufuin nomori is a sightseeing train to Yufuin, and if you have a real JR Book Kyushu Pass, you can use the designated seat for free.
