Minoh Waterfall

箕面の滝

Osaka · Kansai

Minoh Waterfall is a 33-meter fall at the head of Minoh Park, just north of Osaka, reached by a paved riverside walk of about 2.7km from the station past temples and teahouses selling fried maple-leaf tempura. Wild monkeys are often seen along the way. The valley's maples make the walk especially popular in November.

Why we picked it

Many travelers focus on Osaka's urban attractions and overlook this natural gem just outside the city.
