Minoo Falls

箕面大滝

Minoo, Osaka · 大阪

A paved forest walk of about 2.7 kilometres following a stream up a wooded valley to a single wide waterfall, inside a quasi-national park.

Why it’s worth it

Genuine forest, half an hour from central Osaka, with fried maple leaves sold at the stalls on the way up. Peak colour is the third week of November.
