Coming up early in the morning was totally worth it. The whole Yufuin town was surrounded by a sea of clouds—like a fairytale!☁️✨

Toyota Kaikan
A corporate exhibit hall introducing Toyota Motor Corporation, which aims to “mass-produce happiness.” Through videos, displays, and hands-on exhibits, you can explore a wide range of initiatives, including the latest environmental and safety technologies, mobility, and social contribution activities. Another highlight is the many new models on display at all times that you can easily hop into the driver’s seat, passenger seat, or back seat.
Overall it feels very “neat and orderly” in that Japanese way. It would be even better if there were more food options or a café area to take a break.

Shibushi Fumoto Garden Fukuyama Family Garden
During the late Edo period, the Fukuyama family held the highest status among samurai families residing in the Shibushi Fumoto district. Their legacy endures through the beautifully preserved Fukuyama Family Garden, one of the historic samurai gardens collectively recognized as a nationally designated scenic site, known as the Shibushi Fumoto Gardens.
Stones, moss, pine trees—every corner looks like a scene from a Japanese drama. The garden is kept spotless, and you can really see the owner's attention to detail.

The Osaka Museum of Housing and Living
Japan’s first museum, specialized on the history and culture of life, was opened in April 2001. You can learn about housing and how people lived during Edo, Meiji, Taisho and Showa Periods.
This is a really interesting place where you can learn about the past and present. Most of the visitors here are foreigners.
