Things to do in Minoh Park

7/10/26 Luka was our driver very nice and prompt with keeping us inform with a picture of his vehicle that we should be looking out for our tour, our itinerary and time frame of exploring these areas. He even picked us up and dropped us off at our hotel which is roughly a 15-20 mins walking distance from the original free pickup location. There were 4 of us from my party, a total of 6 in a passenger van. This service is very convenient since I didn’t want to risk getting lost by taking a train, a buss ride with walking to each location. Totally recommend .

Absolutely loved this tour! It ended up being my favourite day in Japan. Chelsea explained the itinerary at the start with a map; getting the train was easy + the travel fares were covered with a card provided. Katsuoji Temple was gorgeous, and Chelsea made the whole experience so much fun. She’s incredibly passionate about the mythology and lore behind it all, + she was happy to answer my questions. They also kept an eye out for great photo spots, so I came away with SO many pretty photos. The whole day was casual and informative at the same time! The hike through Minoh was another highlight. The walk itself was rly fun along with seeing the waterfall. Chelsea even looked for bugs to show me along the way, since I said I love them, which was super thoughtful! A huge thank you to Chelsea for being so passionate and fun to talk to, and to Garrett for making sure everything ran smoothly and adding in his knowledge. I highly recommend this tour and would def do it again!

The tour was well worth the money, and our guide, Gary, was very professional. When I visited Osaka last winter, I booked a one-day tour through Klook, and the guide contacted me via WhatsApp beforehand. This time, no one contacted me in advance, which made me quite anxious. However, everything started very smoothly once we arrived at the designated time and meeting point. My husband, children, and I had a wonderful trip, enjoyed a delicious lunch, and had a great time tasting green tea. I highly recommend booking this tour if it's your first time visiting the places on the itinerary, as it takes care of your meals and transportation.

⛩️🌧️ Katsuo-ji Temple — BEST Osaka experience ever! ❤️🎎 Even with the rain absolutely showing no mercy 😂☔, this place was magical, peaceful and somehow transforming. ✨🌿 So many beautiful photo spots 📸, but it never felt overly crowded or chaotic. We’ll definitely come back for better weather and decent photos! 😅☀️ 🐟 Highlight: the koi feeding area! Watching the koi swarm for food was oddly satisfying 😂🐟🍴. Don’t miss the stamp collection either — it’s a fun excuse to explore more of the temple grounds and finish the whole experience. 🗺️🎎 🚍 Downside: about 1 hour from Namba, with buses only every ~30 minutes. The ride up the mountain is very zigzaggy, so get a seat and don’t give it up! 😂🚌 Once you arrive, there are plenty of vending machines 🥤 and even a photobooth 📸 to complete the experience. Just don’t arrive starving — snacks are limited to the cute baby Daruma cakes. 🎎🍰 Bring snacks if needed! Rain or shine, absolutely worth the journey! 🌧️❤️✨

We purchased two-day tickets for our family trip, which included two adults and two elementary school children. Although there isn't a separate child fare for the tickets, we were able to enjoy a classic Osaka trip at a great value, visiting Tsutenkaku Tower, the Tsutenkaku Tower Slider, the Umeda Sky Building Observatory, the Wonder Cruise, and the Osaka Bay Twilight Cruise! Even though it was crowded everywhere during the Obon holiday, it was a great advantage that some locations had dedicated ticket counters for the Rakuyu Pass, allowing us to exchange our tickets without waiting in line to purchase them!

It was our 12th day in Japan, and all the previous days had been exhausting. I had wanted to do this tour on my own, but the kids weren't keeping up as well anymore. I decided to book this tour a day in advance, and it was the best decision. We visited several places without getting too tired or worn out, and the kids happily continued. We wouldn't have been able to see so much on our own. Our guide and driver were very kind!

fantastic package and good value for money. walked straight pass all those queuing to get ticket. that was a very long queue that I skipped using the QR ticket. definitely a must!

wonderful day trip, if you have walked too much but still have so much to see book this. we were able to see 3 very different locations, some which would be difficult to access on our own and all at a very easy pace. The guide was lovely, welcoming and shared perfect historical knowledge throughout.

Such a great experience with Mimmy as our guide. She was the sweetest and we learned so much about this area of Japan! Definitely would recommend to other tourists. Enjoy the beautiful scenery as you hike to get to the waterfall and have a detour or two to explote the area!
