  • If you're visiting Osaka and want to get out of the city, this is a great spot. Minoo Falls is really easy to get to, even by train. It's the perfect place for a spring outing!

  • The trail is easy to walk, and there are benches along the way where you can rest and enjoy the beautiful mountain scenery. The autumn leaves are truly stunning.

  • This is the best spot near Osaka to see autumn leaves.

  • In spring, the cherry blossoms are in full bloom, and soaking in the hot springs feels amazing.

  • Other than the crowds during the fall foliage season, everything else was great.
