Overview
Discover two of Osaka's most spectacular yet hard-to-reach destinations on this e-bike adventure to Minoh Falls and Katsuoji Temple.
Tours run every Wednesday, Thursday & Friday at 9AM, and the meeting point is a short walk from Sakurai Station - only 20 minutes by train from Osaka-Umeda.
Until now, visiting both Minoh Falls and Katusoji required a whole day, hours of hiking, and public transport. Now, you can experience them both without rushing, and all in time for lunch!
Pedal through scenic roads on e-bikes that take the strain out of the climbs. Feel the mist from the stunning 33-meter Minoh Falls, one of Japan's most beautiful waterfalls, then find serenity at the ancient Katsuoji Temple, famous for its thousands of colorful daruma dolls and peaceful mountain setting.
Your guide also brings knowledge of the rules of years of experience riding the Japanese roads, as well as local knowledge.

-
Minoh FallsWe will park the bikes and walk down to the base of the falls, the best place for taking in the view. There are benches, vendors selling food and drinks and public toilets. We'll take a well-earned rest here, and I'll be happy to assist in taking photos. Once everyone's satisfied, we'll head back up to the bikes and continue on the Katusoji Temple.
-
Katsuo-ji TempleAfter the final ascent of the ride, we will arrive at Katsuoji Temple, and have a quick rest in the air-conditioned lobby. We will then make a leisurely circuit of the temple grounds, as I explain each feature. During the circuit you can: - check the Yakudoshi chart of auspicious ages to see if you're in for a lucky or unlucky year - step through the spiral path of the Circle of Wisdom and make a wish - burn an incense stick and make a prayer at one of the shrines - purchase a protective charm or Daruma doll containing a fortune slip - these are all in Japanese but I'm happy to translate - stamp your postcard (received free on entry) at each of the stamping stations, and complete the mosaic image or just take in the experience and enjoy the stunning views.
If it’s canceled due to poor weather, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
