Yufuin Day Two
The next morning, we wasted no time in hitting the little town of Yufuin. It is located in a mountain basin spreading at the foot of the beautiful Mt. Yufu. It is sometimes also known as the 'town of morning mist' as it's often blanketed by thick layer of mist in the morning lending a mysterious and truly captivating sight.The town boasts of many lovely inns, little quaint cafes and small but interesting musuems of varying interests. Its shops lined streets made for a delight to just wander and browse through aimlessly.
Daddy and Mommy going whacky in all the souvenirs and snack shops with free flow of foodstuff samples to try!
You can't really blame them can you? The shops were all so inviting and colorful that it was quite difficult to decide on what to see, buy or eat.
Lunch was at this pretty and inviting lakeside restaurant serving udon made from the natural spring water from the ground.
Strolling leisurely along, we came upon the other famous landmark in Yufuin,Lake Kinrin-ko (金鱗湖). Its name is as such as the surface of the lake seems to resemble fish scales when it reflects sunlight.
And Daddy just can't seemed to get enough of Kinrin-ko and its surroundings : )
As we walked on along the circumference of the lake, we came to a small park filled with trees whose leaves had turned an awesome shade of crimson red and spent quite a bit of time there snapping away. Dad & Mom were really thrilled at the sight of the beautiful red leaves that they posed for many shots under the trees ever so readily! 
Our lovely hotel on the second night- Yawaraginoko Yadoya. I chanced upon this little gem of a place while searching online for accomodation actually. What impressed me is their comprehensive website and extremely user-friendly online reservation. Moreover it is also delightfully clean and service was really up to standard too. The best part is it does not burn a hole in your pocket either and you have the choice of paying for rooms only instead of the usual 2 meals that are almost always included in many Japanese ryokans. This is somewhere I will definitely come back to the next time i visit Yufuin again.
