Minō Momiji Festival

Free

Get the most out of Osaka in autumn by visiting the Minō area in November and seeing the red and yellow leaves lit up.

What to expect

One of the most popular spots for an afternoon out in Osaka, Minō Park is a soft hike along a river with a few bonus spots along the way. Ending in the picturesque view of Minō Falls, complete with a small bridge (and probably lots of people), the walk is about 3 km long.

Schedule 2023

  • There will be night forest yoga on selective days (Nov. 11m 18, 23, 25, and Dec. 4) about 5 minutes on foot from Hankyu Minoo Station for ¥1,500.
  • Minō falls and Katsuoji Temple are illuminated during early evening on weekends and holidays between Nov. 11 and Dec. 3 (from sunset until 9:30 p.m.); transport is limited, so plan ahead.
  • There will be a number of bus tours (¥2,000) to see the main sights leaving from Minō Station.
  • How to get there

    From Umeda Station, take the Takarazuka Line to Ishibashi, then change to the Minō Line, getting off at Minō Station; it takes just under 30 minutes and costs ¥270.
