Meiji no Mori Minoo Quasi-National Park Maple Festival 2026

About this event

Held in Minoo City, Osaka Prefecture, the "Meiji no Mori Minoo Quasi-National Park Maple Festival 2026" is a regular autumn event set throughout the Minoo Waterfall Trail area, a renowned autumn foliage spot, where visitors can fully enjoy autumn's charms. During the period from November 14 to December 6, 2026, under the title "Minoo Forest Night Walk of Sound and Light," the 2.7 km waterfall trail from Hankyu Minoo Station to Minoo Waterfall will be illuminated daily from sunset until 21:30. At five spots along the waterfall trail, touching a smartphone to a signboard allows visitors to listen to music harmonized with the scenery of that spot, offering an enchanting nighttime stroll. During the festival period, diverse programs will also be held, including a forest yoga experience at Saiko-ji Temple, special autumn viewings at Ryuan-ji Temple, a photo contest, and a stamp rally. In addition, Katsuo-ji Temple will hold "Special Autumn Light-Up: Kinshu no Yoimairi 2026" on Saturdays, Sundays, and national holidays from November 1 to 29, which can be enjoyed together. Hiking guided by Minoo volunteer tourist guides and trail running events are also scheduled, providing abundant opportunities to participate in various activities while fully enjoying nature.
