I went to Mino, the most famous place for autumn leaves in Osaka!

The best season for autumn leaves is coming! People usually think of Kyoto when it comes to autumns leaves, but you can enjoy colorful leaves in Osaka as well. I went to Mino, the most famous place for autumn leaves in Osaka!

Restaurant “Otowa-Sanso” which was built in 1926 inside Meiji no Mori (park).

As I arrived in Mino, the first thing I did was having lunch. Walking for 8 minutes from Hankyu-Mino station, and you will see a restaurant “Otowa-Sanso” which was built in 1926 inside Meiji no Mori (park). You can see the beautiful interior with mixture of Japanese and Western culture.

I booked a private room which has an amazing view.

I had a 3900 yen set menu, and that was really good!

Katsuo temole

After lunch, we drove to Katsuo temple. ( It will cost 3000 yen if you take a taxi.)

The scenery is amazingly pretty. There are Dharma (talisman traditionally loved by Japanese people) everywhere. This place is definitely my favorite!
