Minoh Park is a natural retreat just 30 minutes from central Osaka, famous for the beautiful Minoh Falls (33m) and autumn foliage. The 2.8km paved path along the Minoh River offers an easy walk through lush forest. During autumn, shops along the path sell momiji tempura - deep-fried maple leaves as a unique snack! Perfect for a day trip from the city, with hot springs and temples nearby. The trail is mostly flat with some gentle inclines.
Second half of November for peak autumn colors. Weekday mornings are quietest. Spring for fresh green leaves. Summer is cooler than the city. Allow 2-3 hours round trip.

Maple leaves preserved in salt for a year, then coated in sweet batter and deep-fried. They taste more like sweet, crispy cookies than vegetables. A local tradition over 1300 years old! About ¥500 for a small bag.
