Lake Kinrin
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 Lake Kinrin from then on. In addition to the runoff injected by Yubuyue, there are also natural springs at the bottom of the lake, so Lake Kinrin 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.Yufu · 20.3 km from Kusu

The colors weren't as vibrant as I expected. The observation deck is quite unstable.

In the afternoon, we will go to the Nine-fold Dream Suspension Bridge🙌🏻
The sights are quite beautiful, just walking into the bridge and windy
The bridge fee is only 200 yen 👍🏻
A little movement makes my legs tremble a little🫣
The scenery along the way is excellent and there is a small waterfall on the right
Highly recommended to go 🤗🤗🤗

How can you miss Kinrin Lake when you come to Yufuin
In the morning, the lake is covered with mist, and it feels like you are in a fairyland
When the sun rises, the mist dissipates, and you can see the lake rippling like fish scales, which is so beautiful. There is a hot spring hotel nearby, which is very convenient. The small shop under the hot spring hotel is also very good. The colored candies sold there are delicious, with several flavors. The green one is matcha, the yellow one is ginger flavor, and the key color is amber. You can buy it and try it. I haven't seen it anywhere else.
