Minoh Falls
Minoh Falls · 箕面大滝
Minoh Falls offers a riverside walk outside central Osaka with a break at the waterfall. The walk from Hankyu Minoh Station takes about 40–50 minutes. Choose a day for a longer walk and allow ample time to return.
Visitor information
Admission
The official waterfall and park access guide does not list a separate admission charge, so free admission still needs confirmation. Transportation, parking, and snacks cost extra.
Opening hours
The official guide does not give fixed opening or last-admission times. The trail has no nighttime lighting, so plan both the outward and return walks during daylight. Weather and park restrictions can change which sections are accessible.
What to see at Minoh Falls
Follow the river to the waterfall
Walk beside the river from Hankyu Minoh Station to the falls. Rest there before returning on the same trail. Time at the waterfall is excluded from the one-way walking estimate of 40–50 minutes.
How to get to Minoh Falls
Take the Hankyu Takarazuka Line from Osaka-umeda to Ishibashi handai-mae. Transfer to the Minoh Line, get off at Minoh, and join the waterfall trail. The waterfall is about 2.7 kilometers away; the park's access guide estimates about 40 minutes on foot. For planning, allow 40–50 minutes one way plus waterfall breaks and the return on the same trail. This differs from a route starting at Minoh-kayano.

Visit tips
Distinguish Minoh from Minoh-kayano Station
Hankyu Minoh and Minoh-kayano are different stations. The 40–50-minute one-way estimate starts at Hankyu Minoh, so check your destination station when searching trains.
Return during daylight and check restrictions first
The trail has no nighttime lighting. Allow time to rest at the waterfall and walk back to the station, finishing during daylight. Check park weather and restriction notices before leaving and stay out of closed sections.
Questions about Minoh Falls
Is 40–50 minutes the round-trip walk from Minoh Station?
