A fully equipped campsite that is safe even for beginners!
Snow Peak Minoh
Camping Field
Minoh Campfield is a 90-site camping field located about 40 minutes from central Osaka, where you can experience the richness of nature. Making use of the remains of the original rice terraces and natural topography, there are differences in elevation within the field, and the atmosphere and views vary depending on the location.
At the Snow Peak Minoh Nature Center, where the camping field reception is located, they sell all Snow Peak products, rent camping equipment, and provide support for first-time campers, so even beginners can camp with peace of mind. They also sell products directly from the Todoromi area, where the camping field is located, so you can interact with local people.
The facilities are clean, and not only are there coin showers, but the Snow Peak Minoh Nature Center is also fully equipped with baths and toilets. They also offer plans for camping equipment rentals and empty-handed camping, so it's recommended for those who want to try camping for the first time. They also offer day trips for day camping and barbecues, so it's a great place to bring your dog and try it out.

A scenic spot selected as one of Japan's 100 best waterfalls
Minoh Park, Minoh Falls
Minoh Park is located in a corner of the naturally rich Meiji-no-Mori Minoh Quasi-National Park, which spreads across the northern mountainous region of Minoh City at an altitude of approximately 100 to 600 meters. Accessible by car from Osaka city in less than an hour, the park is well known for its autumn foliage, which has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Forests for Forest Bathing," and Minoh Falls, which has been selected as one of the "Top 100 Waterfalls in Japan."
A recommended walking course is the promenade that runs straight from the station through the shopping district lined with souvenir shops to Minoo Falls. You can walk along the river as you weave through the forest. A stroll while enjoying the seasonal scenery, such as cherry blossoms in spring, autumn leaves, and frost-covered trees in winter, is the perfect way to refresh your mind.
The magnificent Minoo Falls is 5 meters wide and has a drop of 33 meters. Soak up plenty of negative ions and refresh yourself after a long walk. It's a cool spot that's 7 degrees cooler than Osaka city. There are plenty of shady areas, so you can enjoy a stroll even in the summer.
There are also stalls along the promenade where you can try Minoh's famous sweets, such as "Momiji no Tempura." Please note that you may occasionally see monkeys walking around, so please be careful not to get into trouble with your dog.

- It is a paved, easy walking path that is just over 2 kilometers one way and takes about 50 minutes.
- If you have a small dog, it's a good idea to bring a carrier or sling in case your dog gets tired and can't walk along the way.
- It gets very crowded during the tourist season and the autumn foliage season, so please be mindful of your dog's safety when walking.

An authentic Italian restaurant nestled in nature
Pizzeria & Café Bar
la terazza al minoh r
For lunch, we recommend the pizzeria and cafe located along the promenade, about 500 meters from Minoo Station, about a 5-minute walk.
The Milanese-style pizza, baked by a chef from a famous restaurant, is so popular that there are often long lines. From the terrace seats along the Minoh River, you can hear the murmuring of the river and enjoy the view of the trees in front of you, in a luxurious location blessed with nature. You can enjoy dishes that make the most of carefully selected ingredients.
Be sure to order it along with our signature pizza.
This shop relocated from near Minoo Station in the fall of 2020. The terrace seats on the first floor can be used as a cafe without a reservation.
The terrace seats are luxuriously located in the forest facing the Minoh River. Depending on the season, it is one of the best spots to see fireflies dancing above the river. This is a spot where you can enjoy the scenery of each season, from fresh greenery and forest bathing in the summer, to bright red autumn leaves and pure white snowscapes. The temperature can drop and be chilly in the mountains, so it is a good idea to choose your clothes according to the temperature.
