Minoh Falls
Minoh Falls · 箕面大滝
Minoh Falls offers a riverside walk and rest by the waterfall outside Osaka City. Walk about 40–50 minutes from Hankyu Minoh Station. For a longer walk away from city streets, allow generous return time too.
Visitor information
Admission
Official waterfall/park access information lists no separate admission price, so free access needs confirmation. Transport, parking and snacks cost separately.
Opening hours
Official information gives no fixed opening or last-entry time. With no night lighting, plan the return walk in daylight too. Weather and park controls can change accessible sections.
What to see at Minoh Falls
A riverside path to the falls
Walk from Hankyu Minoh along the river to the falls, rest and return the same way. Time at the waterfall is excluded from the approximately 40–50-minute one-way walk.
How to get to Minoh Falls
Take the Hankyu Takarazuka Line from Osaka-umeda to Ishibashi handai-mae and transfer to the Minoh Line for Minoh. Enter the waterfall path there. The falls are about 2.7 kilometres away; park access guidance gives about 40 minutes on foot. Allow about 40–50 minutes one way plus waterfall rest and the same-path return. This differs from Minoh-kayano access.

Return by day and check controls before leaving
The path has no night lighting. Allow waterfall rest and the station return to finish in daylight. Check park weather/access notices before leaving; do not enter restricted sections.
