Its a very small place but pretty and surreal.
Good if u are a fan of Ghilbi
Lots of cute and pretty things to buy. If you are not feeding animals etc. Can see the entire place in half hour.
Connected to the famous shopping street.
Swiss roll "B-Speak"at the end of the shopping street is awesome. Very creamy and milky. Sponge is fluffy. Not too sweet.
Yufuin Floral Village is such an incredible place with so much to explore. From food stalls and cosy cafés to little coffee stop spots, every corner feels lively and charming. There are also so many shops selling adorable and super tempting must-buy items that make the whole experience even more fun.
The beautiful mountain scenery and peaceful lake views make this place feel extra magical and relaxing. Definitely one of the most memorable tourist spots during the trip and truly a place you shouldn’t miss when visiting Yufuin.
One of the absolute must-not-miss experiences here is the owl visit experience, where you can see more than 30 owls up close and truly feel their mysterious yet calming presence. You may even gently touch their forehead and experience the beauty of these majestic creatures for yourself. It was definitely one of the most unique and unforgettable moments there.
You don’t necessarily need to join a tour to come here. If you’re planning to drive, it’s actually a very easy and convenient place to reach. Arriving earlier also helps a lot as there are plenty of good parking spots available nearby.
We visited Yufuin Floral Village on our 8th day in Japan, and it felt like stepping directly into a storybook. It was honestly a dream come true to find so many of my favorite things in one place—from the whimsical world of Studio Ghibli to the magic of Harry Potter and the fun of Shin-chan, every corner felt curated just for me.
We also stopped by the Miffy Cafe, where we tried the matcha ice cream; it was, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever had. We didn't stop there, though! The Snoopy Cafe was incredibly pretty, too. My friend is a huge Snoopy fan, and I couldn't help but immediately snap a photo to send to him—I knew he’d love it just as much as I did. Yufuin is such a charming, cozy spot, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip

Cute little stop in Yufuin! 🌿
We also visited Yufuin Floral Village, and overall, it was a nice and enjoyable place to walk around.
Just a heads-up though—it’s quite small, so don’t expect a huge theme park or village. But if you’re a Ghibli fan, you’ll probably enjoy it! The whole place has that cute, whimsical, storybook-like atmosphere, and there are lots of shops selling souvenirs, collectibles, and little memorabilia that you can bring home.
It’s definitely more of a quick sightseeing + shopping stop rather than a place where you’ll spend hours. Very cute, very photogenic, and fun to explore at a relaxed pace.
Plus, it’s just a short distance from Kinrin Lake, so it’s super easy to include both in the same Yufuin itinerary.
Cute little place, especially if you love Ghibli and Japanese-style souvenirs. 😊
Please don't come here just to see the Yufin Floral Village. Because chances are that you will be very disappointed. The "village" is cute, but it's not a village, it's more a square and you have seen in all in 2 min. The pictures look incredible and give you the idea that there are lots of cute little streets you can expect. But it's not!!! It is tiny. Also it gets very packed so it might be hard to enjoy the charming vibes you where hopeing for. Otherwise it is a cute idea. Definitely check out the shopping streets around and hot springs.
