Standing at 1, 583m off the ground, Mount Yufu is the imposing volcano that backdrops the city of Yufuin. A popular mountain to hike, it offers beautiful views in both winter and summer alike. In winter it snows heavily, and can be rather icy, so hikers are cautioned to check the condition of the trails before going so they can prepare appropriately. *For more information on tourism in Yufuin, please see: http://www.japan-guide.com/e/e4750.html
