The waterfall is 33m high and is chosen as one of the 100 best waterfalls in Japan. The name comes from a farming tool “Mino,” as the shape of the waterfall looked similar to one.

Walking the waterfall path from Hankyu Minoh Station is a recommended way to get there, but if you don’t want to walk, you can park your car in the nearby parking lot.

The waterfall path is a 40 minutes walk and from the parking lot is a 10 minutes walk. Both ways are known for its beautiful site that you can see on the way to the waterfall that changes according to the season.

Please try the Minoh Beer and the “Momiten”(Orchid tempura) at the stores nearby.

In the summer season, Momiten ice-cream is sold at the nearby stores, so please give it a try if you will be visiting here in the summer.
