    Oita Pref. Yufushi Yufuinchoukawakami 1488-1
    A Japanese confection shop located in Yufuincho, Yufu City, Oita Prefecture located a one-minute walk from Lake Kinrin. This elegant shop, surrounded by trees, is filled with sweets masterfully crafted with the choicest of ingredients, such as only the smallest of renowned Hokkaido adzuki beans. The shop’s most popular item is its fresh yokan (sweet bean jelly), which is not overly sweet and leaves a clean aftertaste. The rich egg and honey flavor of Hanayori’s dorayaki (sponge cakes with filling) is perfectly matched by the sweetness of its coarse red bean paste filling; they also make a popular snack to enjoy while strolling about Yufuin.

    After visiting Kinrinko, I was craving for some sweets. I stopped by this cafe. There is indoor and outdoor sitting area. Kushidango is their most selling item. Dozen flavors to choose. I ordered...

Oita Areas

around-area-map

A trip to Oita is tantamount to a long soak in the Beppu baths. The mountainous, coastal prefecture of Oita is renowned for having more onsen than any other prefecture in Japan, most of which lie in the city of Beppu on the west coast of Kyushu, recognizable by its pungent sulphuric aroma and the clouds of steam that puff up across the hillside. Away from the Beppu hot springs await mountains, waterfalls, and temples, so don’t hesitate to explore Oita a little further.
