Cherry Blossom Trees along the Oita River

Overview

The Oita River flows through the heart of Yufuin. The 'Yufuin Natural Promenade' along the river is painted in shades of pink in the springtime. Rapeseed flowers bloom abundantly along the riverbank, creating a beautiful contrast of yellow and pink. With the majestic Mount Yufu towering overhead, this area is a prime photography spot. While the cherry blossoms typically peak around early April, if you time your visit right, you might even catch a glimpse of the 'Yufuin no Mori' express train, with its beautiful green carriages, speeding along the tracks connecting Yufuin Station and Minami-Yufu Station. Enjoy the vibrant contrast of the 'Yufuin no Mori' train against the backdrop of Mount Yufu, the cherry blossoms, and rapeseed flowers. Take a stroll through the tunnel of cherry blossoms and soak in the beauty of spring!
