Minoo Falls
About This Destination
Minoo Falls is a 33-metre waterfall in the Meiji-no-Mori Minoo Quasi-National Park in the hills north of central Osaka. It is listed among Japan's 100 finest waterfalls and is the centrepiece of a forested gorge that draws visitors year-round. The falls are reached by a mostly flat riverside trail of about 2.7 kilometres from Minoo Station, lined with maple, cherry, and cedar trees. The area is especially popular in mid to late November when the maples turn red. Stalls along the trail sell momiji tempura, deep-fried maple leaves that are salted and aged before frying. Entry to the park and trail is free.
