Like all Japanese stations, Yufuin serves its purpose functionally, but also has its aesthetic role. Unlike other stations of glass, steel or brick, Yufuin station is made completely of wood and steel. An example of original and intelligent architecture adapted to a mountain landscape. The station in the center of the town receives mostly passengers from Oita. There's a Tourist Office and the staff are very helpful and people communicate effectively despite language difficulties and shyness.
