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.
