A hike up to Minoo falls will expose you to some of Japan's most beautiful natural environments, Temples, the rare giant salamander if you are lucky, and maybe some wild monkeys. (self.osakathingstodo)

And a beautiful waterfall. Here is the suggested route for a hike up to Minoo falls. It's a great walk and Osaka locals also visit. Just go to Minoo Station and this route will get you started. The route will be obvious. There's food at the top. There's a bit of a grade, so the mostly sedentary may have to work to get to the top, but for most people it is not a problem. The path is well paved and safe.

The Insectarium on the way up is pretty cool too. Also, if you are bug nerd, keep your eyes open for this shop.

The shirt with all the bug kanji on it you've been looking for is there. It's under an hour from Umeda. Google will get you there.

Don’t forget to eat some deep fried momiji leaves, and stay on the lookout for freshwater crabs. Really odd seeing crabs at altitude for the first time.
