Experience Details

Begin your journey with a hike up to the enchanting Minoh Falls, nestled within the serene Minoh Park. This 33-meter tall natural marvel is accessible via a 45-minute trek on a paved and largely flat trail, ensuring that even novice hikers can enjoy the journey with ease. The Japanese momiji (maple) trees surrounding the area present a breathtaking canvas, especially during the autumn, making the waterfall's sight even more special.
Having worked up a thirst, delight in your first beer experience right at the base of Minoh Falls. Let the crisp notes of the local Minoh Beer refresh you as you take in the surrounding beauty.
Following this, continue your beer journey at Derailleur Brew Works, a contemporary yet cozy establishment where you'll be treated to an array of half-pints of Japanese craft beer. Engage with your certified beer server who possesses a wealth of knowledge and passion for Japanese craft brews. Don't hesitate to ask questions and seek recommendations for your next drink!

Experience Location
Minoh City in Osaka Prefecture is located just slightly north of Osaka City, making it the perfect day trip from the big city. Its best known attraction is Minoh Park, which is home to wildlife such as monkeys, and the stunning Minoh Falls. For those who are interested in spiritual sights in Japan, check out Katsuo-ji Temple, with over 1000 years of history, which is decked out with daruma dolls (a lucky symbol in Japan). Minoh is also known for stunning fall foliage. For a tasty and autumnal treat, try momiji tempura, a Japanese maple leaf that is dipped in tempura batter and deep-fried.
