Yufuin （湯布院） is one of the main tourist attractions of Kyushu. It is in Oita prefecture, which is famous for its hot springs. If you are looking for traditional Japanese goods, cute souvenirs or delicious food, this is the place to go!

Yufuin is a small area (similar to Komachi-dori in Kamakura) filled with small stores selling souvenirs ranging from wooden bowls to precious glass owls to Japanesque jewelry. They also sell Japanese food or food with a Japanese twist, such as green-tea ice cream, an array of soy sauce and mochi.

Yufuin is definitely the place to go in Kyushu so go visit for some souvenir shopping!
