Yunotsubo Kaido Street runs through the center of the popular hot spring town of Yufuin, leading from Yufuin Station to Lake Kinrinko. It takes about 20 minutes to cover the distance without lingering, but there are enough interesting shops, cafes and galleries to merit an hour or two of strolling. The buildings lining the street are low-rise, and mostly traditional in appearance. Mt. Yufu rises above the street, adding to the picturesque setting. It is a nice place to wander and sample some local delicacies, coupled with a walk around the lake and a relaxing soak in one of the area’s many hot springs.
