Minoo Park (箕面公園) is a natural park located in the northwestern part of Osaka, Japan. It is famous for its beautiful autumn foliage, attracting many visitors during the fall season, but it is also known for its beautiful fresh greenery in other seasons.
Minoo Park is situated along the Minoo River and features hiking trails that lead to Minoo Waterfall, a popular destination for visitors. The trails are well-maintained and relatively easy to navigate, making it accessible even for beginner hikers.
