Mino Park, Osaka

This is also a recreational area and was awarded a quasi national park status in the late 1960s. The park has a hiking trail that is 3 kilometres long and passes through a valley alongside the Mino river. The Mino Park is also known for the Mino waterfall which falls from a height of 33 metres. The word Mino translated to winnow- a technique that farmers use to separate husk from grains. The park also has a trail filled with shops and temples worth exploring when in Osaka.
