Hi, I’m Tabi!

Explore woodland, a waterfall and temples in Minoo, Osaka, distinct from Mino in Gifu. Begin on Takimichi near the station and decide whether to continue according to slopes, weather and your pace.

This guide covers places within Minoo, rather than places immediately beside your app check-in.

03 · YOUR FIRST WALK

Keep your first walk simple

Try Hankyu Minoo station → Takimichi → the Ryuanji area. Check museum opening separately and treat the falls as a longer woodland outing. Follow marked paths and check your return route.

Check the walking route

Check actual distances and travel times on the map. This suggested walk is separate from your app movement record.

Before you set off

  • Check current entry rules, opening information and return transport.
  • Choose an outing suited to steps, slopes and weather.
  • Respect worship spaces and photography rules; check food ingredients at the shop.
