Meet your guide at Hankyu Minoh Station and set off on a forest walk along the Minoh Waterfall Trail. Along the way to the waterfall, we may also stop by Ryuan-ji Temple, a small and peaceful local temple surrounded by nature. The gentle riverside path takes about 50 minutes and leads you to the impressive 33-meter Minoh Waterfall, a natural highlight in every season. After a short break for photos, you will return on foot to Minoh Station, enjoying the scenery from a different perspective.
From there, local transport will be used to reach Katsuo-ji Temple. In most cases, we use taxis instead of buses because they are often cheaper for small groups and significantly faster, allowing more time to enjoy the destination. Transport costs during the tour are paid separately by guests unless otherwise stated. Known as the “Temple of Victory,” Katsuo-ji is famous for its countless red Daruma dolls, symbols of perseverance and good fortune. Spend around 1 hour exploring the spacious grounds, admiring the peaceful gardens, ornate gates, and hillside views. After the visit, return towards Minoh-Kayano Station, where the tour concludes, offering a perfect half-day combination of nature and culture near Osaka.
