Yufuin Floral Village is one of Yufuin’s most enchanting destinations, designed as a miniature version of England’s Cotswolds villages, complete with honey-yellow stone cottages, cobblestone lanes, and flower-filled corners at every turn. Set against the dramatic backdrop of Mount Yufu, the village blends European fantasy with the natural beauty of Yufuin’s famous hot spring town.

Themed around beloved global characters, the village features charming shops dedicated to Studio Ghibli, Kiki’s Delivery Service, Totoro, Peter Rabbit, Harry Potter, and Alice in Wonderland. Each tiny shop is decorated to match its theme, offering exclusive merchandise, handmade crafts, and adorable souvenirs that can’t be found elsewhere.

Travelers can also enjoy interactive experiences such as the Owl Photo Studio, small animal encounters, and a Cat Café, making it a popular stop for families, couples, and photography lovers. Small cafés and snack vendors offer sweets, pastries, and drinks that fit the dreamy European concept.

Though small in size, Yufuin Floral Village is packed with rich details and magical corners, making it an ideal stop while exploring Yunotsubo Kaido and the scenic Lake Kinrin area.
