Enjoy the lush greenery of Minoh Falls

From Hankyu Umeda Station, take the Takarazuka Line and transfer to the Minoh Line at Ishibashi Handai-mae Station. The ride takes about 10 minutes 🚃. Once you get off at the final stop, Minoh Station, you'll find a trekking course leading to the waterfall. Despite being a trekking route, the path is not steep or overly challenging, making it suitable even for beginners. When I visited, I saw people of all ages, from small children to elderly individuals, enjoying the trail to the falls. There is a footbath along the way, but as of May, it was closed. Additionally, there are souvenir shops and stalls selling the famous maple leaf tempura, so be sure to check them out. Near the summit, you can find refreshments like beer and ice cream to help you relax and recharge—highly recommended! The trail to Minoh Falls is about 2.7 kilometers from the station and takes approximately 40 to 50 minutes to complete. It's a great spot to experience nature away from the bustling city of Osaka.
