Just north of Osaka city lies the township of Minoh (sometimes spelt as Minoo, or Minou). Minoh is one of the best places to visit during momiji-gari season – a time when Japanese people travel to the countryside to view the many colors of autumn.
Traveling to Minoh is easy: simply walk to Hankyu Station from Hotel Kinki and board a train headed to Takarazuka. Get off at Ishibashi Station and transfer to the Minou/Minoo Line. Take this train to the end of the line (3 stops) and you will have arrived at Minoh city.
Follow the signs to Meiji no Mori Mino Kokutei Koen. Here, you’ll begin your hike up the lower mountain slope and get a look at one of Japan’s oldest national parks.
At the end of the hiking path lies a beautiful waterfall. There, many people stop to admire the view and grab a bite to eat. You’ll find outdoor food vendors cooking up some delicious snacks at this rest stop.
Minoh park also has wild monkeys! Just remember that you’re not supposed to feed them.
