Minoo Waterfall 箕面滝

To enjoy the changing of the season, I headed south of Osaka to Minoo. This area is famous for its waterfall and the changing colors of the Japanese maple trees throughout this wooded, mountainous area. A special delicacy is momiji tempura, which is maple leaves that are quickly battered and fried. Upon sampling them, I found them to be mildly sweet and crunchy. The path the the waterfall was full of people enjoying the sights, as well as vendors selling fruit, tempura leaves, and even a flea market.
