Located in the northern part of Minoh City near Osaka, Katsuo-ji Temple is a popular destination known for its thousands of red Daruma dolls. Despite its somewhat inconvenient transportation options, visitors flock to the temple to capture stunning photos and seek good fortune with a Daruma doll. If you visit during spring, Katsuo-ji Temple offers an additional attraction: cherry blossoms! The temple grounds feature an elegant weeping cherry tree whose branches sway gracefully in the wind, creating a serene and dreamy atmosphere. Additionally, the area is adorned with various cherry blossom species, including Yaezakura, Satozakura, and Yamazakura, transforming every corner of Katsuo-ji Temple into a picturesque scene. Katsuo-ji Temple is about an hour's drive from Osaka city center. To get there, take the Midosuji Line subway to its final stop, Senri-Chuo, and then transfer to Bus No. 29, which goes directly to the temple. While the route is straightforward, bus services are infrequent, so plan your timing carefully.

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

This time it departed from Umeda Station and got there in about an hour or so. It costs 500 yen to enter, comes with a postcard, the directions along the way can be stamped, and the instructions are clear, it was a comfortable trip and probably stayed for an hour or two before leaving. #Osaka #Katsuoji Temple Transportation: Take the OsakaMetro Midosuji Line, Umeda (subway) to Keono Kanno Station, about 25 minutes drive, after exiting the gate to walk to Hankyu Bus Station, station guidance is very clear, after one floor you will see the bus stop, towards Katsuoji. This return trip did not take the bus, if enough for four people to take a taxi about 3100 yen, more convenient. Address: 2914-1 Aomatani, Minoh, Osaka 562-8508 Japan Opening hours: 8:00am - 5:00pm

When you arrive at Osaka Minoo Station, you might as well stop and taste the signature grilled manju from the century-old shop "Chidori-ya". This Japanese confectionery shop has become a stomach-warming choice for travelers and locals alike with its heartwarming desserts and attentive service. The characteristic of Shao Mantou is the soft mochi skin wrapped with hot red bean filling. The red bean filling is delicate and sweet with natural bean fragrance, which is sweet but not greasy. The baked steamed buns are made to order and are grilled. The outer skin is slightly crispy, while the filling is moist and hot. It melts in your mouth and brings a unique sense of happiness. Another highlight of the store is the thoughtful tea service. Each customer can pair it with a cup of hot tea. The warm tea aroma neutralizes the sweetness of the burnt buns, making the overall taste more balanced. Sitting at a small table by the window and enjoying the leisurely scenery of Minoo Street through the glass window is a pleasant rest time during the journey. In addition to baked buns, Chidori-ya also sells a variety of classic Japanese sweets, which are a good choice for souvenirs. If you plan to visit Minoo Falls, you might as well replenish your energy here to add sweet memories to your next journey! 📍 **Address**: 1-2-2 Minoh, Minoh City, Osaka Prefecture (2 minutes walk from Minoh Station) 🕒 **Opening hours**: 9:00–18:00 🎯 **Recommended food**: grilled buns, traditional Japanese sweets, hot tea set #Minoh Food #Chidoriya #Yakimantou #Red Bean Mochi #Osaka Dessert #Japanese Wagashi #Old Dessert Shop #Intimate Tea #Minoh Station Check-in #Dessert Tour #JanuaryGoodPlaces2025

Minoh Park is the closest national park to Osaka. It is about a 3-kilometer walk from Minoh Station to the main attraction of the park, Minoh Waterfall. You can enjoy a leisurely hike while taking in the surrounding scenery, which includes lovely trees and clear rivers. If you're lucky, you might even spot red-faced monkeys in the park, allowing you to enjoy some fresh air and connect with nature. Along the way, there are many vendors selling fried maple leaves tempura. We bought some to try, and they were very crispy. There's also an insect museum in the park. I guess many different types of insects have been discovered here, but we didn't see any visitors going in. The final highlight of the hike is the waterfall. The sound of the rushing water and the visual treat of the rainbow at the base of the waterfall were the grand finale of our hike. Most visitors to this park are Japanese, and it's wonderful to spend half a day in this national park, especially after experiencing the crowds and hustle and bustle of Osaka (especially Dotonbori!). The path to the waterfall is paved, making it very easy to climb and perfect for joggers and outdoor enthusiasts. There are stalls selling drinks and food, especially grilled fish, near the waterfall. The weather was great that day, making it perfect for an outdoor hike! From Osaka Umeda Station, take the Hankyu Takarazuka Line to Ishibashi Handai-mae Station, then transfer to the Hankyu Minoh Line to Minoh Station.

#naturalwonders If you want to feel a less crowd of Osaka, you should probably visit Minoo waterfall. Autumn will be a perfect season to visit Minoo as you will see a bunch of colorful trees on your way to the top of Minoo waterfall. It is easy to get to Minoo by train. As long as you have Osaka Amazing Pass, you can go there free by taking train or you can use your own ICOCA for the rain ride. You can direct from wherever you are to Minoo by maps and take the last stop at Minoo Station. Then you can just walk straight to the north area to meet the Minoo Park. Among a few temple along your hiking trail, one is the most impressive temple is Ryuanji Temple. This located in between of start point, train station and last point waterfall. Along your hiking way, there will be a few shops selling their best snacks and drinks for you to take a rest for a while. I think you must put this as your must visit during your stay in Osaka. 📍Minoo Park, Osaka, Japan 🇯🇵 #100waysoftravel #waterfall #osaka #japan #nature

'Katsuo-ji Temple' strictly speaking is not very far, take the subway to Senri Chuo Station, get off and take the No. 29 bus for about half an hour to get there, but what needs to be noted is that there are fewer buses on weekdays, only three a day, so you need to check the time in advance, it's a bit troublesome, but it's very worth it!

Bicycles are not allowed near the building. There is a bicycle parking lot at the entrance to the mountain! ※I saw a family with a child around 2 years old. Apparently, he was seriously injured the moment he looked away after starting to climb Mt. Minoo. The path is paved and safe, but you can't let your guard down with little ones who are just starting to walk, so please be careful! ○ A wonderful insect museum where you can learn about insects and experience them. Your children will definitely have fun in the greenhouse where the butterflies are released! ♪ The ones who were observing carefully were careful not to step on the butterflies that were resting on the ground. It's a small thing, but it's also moving to see how children enjoy the insect museum! #Osaka sightseeing #Places to enjoy with parents and children #Minoh Park Insectarium #Insectarium #Park #Solo trip #trip #Osaka sightseeing

The admission fee for this Insectarium is very cheap, and there is also a butterfly garden, which I, an adult, enjoyed very much. You cannot touch the insects, but you can enjoy observing them from various angles. ●In the butterfly garden, butterflies are allowed to roam freely, and you can have a rare experience of them flying close to you and eating food.

Introducing the waterfall path of Minoh Otaki in Minoh City, Osaka. From Hankyu Minoh Station to Minoh Otaki, there is a beautifully maintained waterfall path of about 2.7 km. It is a slope, so it is best to wear comfortable shoes. There are souvenir shops, cafes, and benches, so you can take a rest if you get tired. The scenery of the maple trees is also very beautiful, so you can enjoy a pleasant stroll. The waterfall path has a shrine, an insect museum, and a route from the hiking trail (Jigokudani) in the middle of the waterfall path! The path in Jigokudani is a little harder than the waterfall path, but the view is different, so if you can walk, please try Jigokudani as well✨ #Osaka sightseeing #breathtaking view #Minoh #Minoh Falls #Minoh sightseeing #Minoh Park #with children #outing with children #777 #trip with children
