Mt. Yufu (1,584m) dominates Yufuin's skyline with its distinctive twin peaks (東峰 East Peak 1,583m and 西峰 West Peak 1,584m). The hiking trail from Yufuin town to the East Peak takes 90 minutes (one-way) through mixed forest transitioning to volcanic rock near the summit. The peak provides 360° views encompassing Beppu Bay, the Kuju mountain range, and the Yufuin basin far below.

The trail is well-maintained but steep in sections (700m elevation gain in 2.5km horizontal distance), making it a legitimate mountain hike rather than a stroll.

**East peak vs West peak:** Most hikers stop at East Peak. West Peak requires an additional 20-minute traverse across a knife-edge ridge connecting the twins — exposed, with fixed chains for hand support. The West Peak is 1m higher but the view is nearly identical. First-timers: East Peak only unless you're comfortable with exposure. **Early morning ascent:** Start at 6:00am (trailhead accessible 24/7) to reach the summit by 7:30 for sunrise over Beppu Bay. Autumn (October–November) has the clearest mornings. The town below is usually hidden under morning mist, creating a cloud-sea effect with only the mountain peaks visible above the white layer. **Post-hike onsen:** Plan your hike to finish by 14:00, then use day-bathing at a Yufuin ryokan (多くの宿が14:00-16:00に日帰り入浴を提供). The combination of mountain exertion followed by hot spring bath is the intended Yufuin experience — locals do this regularly.
