金鱗湖觀景台 — photo spot in 1561-1 Yufuinchō Kawakami, Yufu, Oita 879-5102, Japan
金鱗湖觀景台
Kinrinko Lake viewing platform overlooks a small, mirror-like hot-spring lake framed by wooded hills and traditional ryokan—ideal for reflections, steam rising at dawn, and seasonal colors. Best at pre-dawn sunrise when geothermal steam and low light create ethereal mist; autumn and winter offer dramatic color and colder, thicker fog. The platform is a short, flat walk from central Yufuin (no entry fee). Arrive early on weekdays to avoid crowds; limited street parking and public lots near Yufuin
