Such a wonderful cafe with beautiful views of the lake and the surrounding mountains. We felt like we could have stayed there for hours, simply enjoying the peaceful atmosphere and scenery. The coffee was also expertly made and absolutely delicious. Highly recommended! Meal type: Brunch Price per person: ¥1,000–2,000 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Cafe La Ruche at Lake Kinrin in Yufuin offers a charming and visually appealing café experience. The setting is definitely one of its strongest points, with a unique and attractive design that blends well with the natural beauty of the area. It’s a lovely place to relax and enjoy the atmosphere, especially given its scenic location. The food is decent—nothing extraordinary, but still enjoyable enough to complement the experience. However, for true coffee enthusiasts, the coffee might feel a bit underwhelming, as it lacks the depth and quality one might expect from a specialty café. One suggestion for improvement would be to open earlier, as the peaceful morning atmosphere around Lake Kinrin would make this café even more appealing. Additionally, having baristas who are more comfortable with English would greatly enhance the experience for international visitors.

A truly serene café right in front of Lake Kinrin — easily one of the most peaceful spots we visited. The setting is absolutely stunning, with calm waters and beautiful natural scenery that make it the perfect place to slow down and just take everything in. We ordered a couple of coffees (I had a latte), found a seat by the lake, and spent some time just relaxing and watching the view. It was one of those moments where you can really unwind and appreciate the surroundings — such a memorable and calming experience. The coffee itself was very good — smooth, well-balanced, and nicely made. Definitely a great pairing with the atmosphere. Service was friendly and efficient, even though the place gets quite busy due to its prime location. The café itself was clean and well-kept, and the toilets were also very clean, which is always a plus. Overall, a beautiful spot to take a break, enjoy a good coffee, and soak in the tranquil vibe of Yufuin. Highly recommend stopping by if you’re visiting the lake.
