Insider Tip
The momiji tempura (¥300) is unique to Minoo — crispy, sweet, and surprisingly delicious. Autumn foliage peaks in late November.
JEMS Tip
We pair the hike with a visit to the Katsuoji temple (famous for its daruma dolls) and recommend the best momiji tempura stall along the trail.
About
Minoo Park offers a beautiful 2.7km riverside trail through a forested valley to a 33-meter waterfall. The trail is easy and well-maintained, passing temples and tea houses. Famous for momiji tempura (deep-fried maple leaves) in autumn.
Crowd Avoidance
Start early morning for the best experience and fewer people. Autumn foliage and cherry blossom seasons are the most crowded periods.
