Create an itinerary including Waterfall of Mino
After an easygoing hike along the Mino River, take in the picturesque cascade of Waterfall of Mino. First written about 1,300 years ago, En-No-Gyoja (the founder of ancient Japanese mountain worship) meditated beneath these falls for three years before going on to establish various temples. At their most spectacular after a day of rain, the falls plummet 33 m (108 ft) down the sheer rock into the river below, measuring about 5 m (16 ft) wide. You'll need to walk about 3 km (1.9 mi) along a paved path to reach the falls, so bring along some water and wear comfortable footwear. Look out for the insectarium along the way, which endeavors to display some of the surrounding environment's 3,000 species of insects.

  • Beautiful local waterfall that’s located at the top of a small hill, an easy hike up and down, about 1.5-2 hours round-trip. Stunning in fall. You can see a temple and small shops along the way as...

  • The place is so wonderful; so refreshing, calm and peaceful. It is a 2.7km walk! First time to eat maple leaves.

  • Great place to reach when you visit Minoo Park. It takes about 1 hour from the station to Minoo Falls. Plain road, and easy to walk on.

  • This is where you can mingle with mother nature close to the city. I visited the site during the autumn. The weather is so perfect for a walk and the course to the waterfall from the station is just one hour maximum. You can enjoy food l, highly recommend the fried momiji for those who haven't tried, and splendid scenery. Walking along the small stream up to the waterfall can soothe your soul from the busy weekday life.
  • The hike from the station was pretty flat. Suitable for everyone. The scenery is stunning so the 30-45 minute walk was really enjoyable. I brought some lunch to eat there and enjoyed the sounds of the water and the fresh air. I will definitely come back here.
  • Such a beautiful place for taking selfies or enjoying with family. Walking is needed . Parking is 20 mins far from waterfall and there are many parking but walking distance is very much . Free Toilet is available. Shops are available but only cash. Parking is like ¥500 for 1 hour and ¥1500 for one day. Must go place but please visit here with shoes 👟 only. Maple 🍁 leave fried is must try its sweet .
  • Very very beautiful in autumn. Bring some warm clothes for the kids if you bring them towards the falls. They may catch a chill like mine did even after I wrapped him up.
  • beautiful place to visit. from the the parking lot you'll need to walk for about 10-15mins there's a stall for some foods . A chair to seat on while enjoying the view of the waterfalls .
