#naturalwonders If you want to feel a less crowd of Osaka, you should probably visit Minoo waterfall. Autumn will be a perfect season to visit Minoo as you will see a bunch of colorful trees on your way to the top of Minoo waterfall. It is easy to get to Minoo by train. As long as you have Osaka Amazing Pass, you can go there free by taking train or you can use your own ICOCA for the rain ride. You can direct from wherever you are to Minoo by maps and take the last stop at Minoo Station. Then you can just walk straight to the north area to meet the Minoo Park. Among a few temple along your hiking trail, one is the most impressive temple is Ryuanji Temple. This located in between of start point, train station and last point waterfall. Along your hiking way, there will be a few shops selling their best snacks and drinks for you to take a rest for a while. I think you must put this as your must visit during your stay in Osaka. 📍Minoo Park, Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵 #100waysoftravel #waterfall #osaka #japan #nature

Introducing the waterfall path of Minoh Otaki in Minoh City, Osaka. From Hankyu Minoh Station to Minoh Otaki, there is a beautifully maintained waterfall path of about 2.7 km. It is a slope, so it is best to wear comfortable shoes. There are souvenir shops, cafes, and benches, so you can take a rest if you get tired. The scenery of the maple trees is also very beautiful, so you can enjoy a pleasant stroll. The waterfall path has a shrine, an insect museum, and a route from the hiking trail (Jigokudani) in the middle of the waterfall path! The path in Jigokudani is a little harder than the waterfall path, but the view is different, so if you can walk, please try Jigokudani as well✨ #Osaka sightseeing #breathtaking view #Minoh #Minoh Falls #Minoh sightseeing #Minoh Park #with children #outing with children #777 #trip with children

I recently visited Minoh Waterfall in Osaka, a breathtaking destination that truly refreshes the soul. Nestled in the mountains and surrounded by dense forests, the area offers fresh air and picturesque scenery. Starting from Minoh Park, I followed a winding trail on foot, accompanied by the soothing sound of flowing water along the way. This natural setting was incredibly relaxing. As I got closer, the majestic view of the waterfall gradually unfolded before me. Crystal-clear water cascaded down from a great height, creating a misty spray and a refreshing breeze. The surrounding rocks and lush greenery added to the natural beauty of the scene. Although the hike was relatively short, every step was filled with delightful surprises. My visit to Minoh Waterfall not only allowed me to experience the power of nature but also provided a much-needed escape to rejuvenate my mind and body. It was truly an unforgettable experience.

#Osaka Itinerary Do you want to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and embrace nature? The Minoh Otaki Hiking Course in the Suburbs of Osaka is a Must-See! This trail surrounded by greenery allows you to feel the coolness of the waterfall and enjoy the lush greenery. It is a relaxing and pleasant journey and is definitely an ideal choice for a spring outing. 🌿【Hiking experience: Immerse yourself in the embrace of negative oxygen ions】 From Minoh Station, follow the "Minoh Park" signs for about 5 minutes on foot and you will see the trail entrance. The stone road along the way is flat and easy to walk on, with tall beech and maple trees on both sides. The sunlight shines through the gaps between the leaves, forming patches of golden and green light. When passing through the "Hell Valley", the curling steam rises from the cracks in the rocks, which is quite mysterious; then walk forward to the "observation deck" and overlook the entire green valley, and the fatigue will disappear in an instant~ 🌊【Surprise at the end: Encounter a cool waterfall with a drop of 33 meters】 After walking for about 45 minutes, you can hear the rumbling sound of water - the 33-meter-high Minoo Great Falls comes into view! The waterfall cascades down the cliff, splashing fine water against the rocks and reflecting mini rainbows in the sunlight. It is recommended to sit on the wooden plank road beside the waterfall and feel the coolness of the mist on your face, or take off your shoes and step into the shallows, letting the clear stream water flow over your instep, instantly dispelling the spring heat💦 🦋【Easter eggs along the way: little surprises of nature and humanity】 • Insect Museum: There is a "Minoo Insect Museum" halfway along the trail, where you can observe beetle and butterfly specimens up close, which is suitable for bringing children to learn about nature • Hongye Teahouse: There is a long-established teahouse near the waterfall. We recommend the limited-edition "Waterfall Flowing Somen". The cool noodles slide down the bamboo trough into the bowl, which is full of ritual. • Autumn only: This is a famous spot for viewing maple leaves! In mid-to-late November, the whole valley is dyed red and golden, and the waterfall against the maple leaves looks like an oil painting. 📍【Practical Information】 🚃Transportation: Take the Osaka Loop Line to Senri-Chuo Station, transfer to the Kita-Osaka Kyuko Line, get off at Minoo Station, and walk for about 45 minutes 🧥Outfit: It is recommended to wear non-slip shoes. It is rainy in spring so you can bring a waterproof jacket. Remember to prevent mosquitoes in summer. 📌Tips: The trail is about 2 kilometers long and takes 2 hours to go back and forth. It is easy to drive and even beginners can easily handle it. When the pace of the city makes you breathless, you might as well hide in this "Osaka back garden". Listen to the sound of the wind blowing through the treetops, watch the stream leap over the rocks, in the embrace of nature, even time becomes slow and gentle🌿 #Osaka Secret Place #Minoo Waterfall #Japan Hiking #Kansai Free Travel #Spring Outing Proposal

#Osaka Itinerary 📍Address: 2-2 Minookoen, Minoh, Osaka 562-0002 Japan 💞Recommendation reason: I am tired of going to Osaka, so I searched online and found a waterfall in the suburbs of Osaka that few people mentioned. The transportation to get there is also very convenient. Just take the Hankyu Takarazuka Line to the terminal station (Minoo Station), and you can walk directly to the mountain. The climbing is not difficult and the slope is not steep, but there are very few people. It feels like a group of retired elderly sisters who have decided to go hiking together. It is a very local Osaka itinerary that is different from others. There is plenty of greenery, which is completely different from the established bustling impression of Osaka. There are places to sit in front of the waterfall (as shown in the last picture). It is very close to the waterfall. It is recommended to bring a picnic and stare at the waterfall. 💰Per capita consumption: No tickets are required, only the transportation fee is required. There are also a few small vendors next to the waterfall, and the prices are normal. It is said that autumn is very beautiful, but unfortunately I went there in winter There are people selling fried maple leaves on the side of the mountain climbing road. It is said to be a special snack, but I didn’t try it🤣 #Osaka #Osaka itinerary #Osaka attractions #Suburbs #Niche #Waterfall #Minoh Otaki #Minoh

Plus, you have to walk almost 2.6 kilometers to the waterfall!! If you like nature and have time, we recommend that you come. The real nature of the waterfall may not be as big or magnificent as in our country, but the journey along the way is good. The atmosphere and environment are easy for people to walk. The route is comfortable, but it may be a bit far. There are restrooms to stop and rest along the way. At the beginning, there is a photo spot for the red bridge, the shrine, and when you start walking, there will be trees on both sides of the road and a small stream. At the waterfall, there are seats to sit and watch the view and there are 2-3 shops. But along the way, there are also small shops and a water dispenser. We saw elderly people walking and breathing fresh air. Personally, it is very good. I like it. I don't feel like I wasted my time coming here. We left Osaka early in the morning, so the weather was not too hot. And returned at noon, stopping to have a snack at the station before going back to Osaka for an afternoon meal. Overall, it took about half a day, which was just right.
