This compact theme park recreates the streetscapes of the Cotswolds region in the UK, known as a filming location for the movie “Harry Potter,” and its magical atmosphere feels like you’ve wandered into a fairytale.

Inside the park, where beautiful plants bloom through every season, pathways lined with stone cottages stretch on, with photo spots scattered throughout. You can take commemorative photos with a Hogwarts-inspired building or a vintage British MINI in the background, try holding an owl on your hand at the studio, or enjoy meeting Bengal cats at the cat café.

After taking photos, stop by popular shops to pick up memorable souvenirs, including the “Ghibli Corner,” a must for Studio Ghibli fans, and “The Rabbit,” stocked with Peter Rabbit goods.

The on-site hotel, “YUFUIN FLORAL VILLAGE HOTEL,” is also well reviewed. Guest rooms are styled with a Japanese-modern interior, and the hotel features a large public bath where you can enjoy Yufuin’s highly beneficial hot springs with free-flowing water straight from the source, etc. Settle in for a soothing stay while enjoying the exotic scenery beyond your window.
