This natural forest is home to thousands of insect species. This natural park, famed for its beautiful scenery, stretches across the northern mountainous districts of Minoo City at altitudes ranging from 100 to 600m. It was designated a quasi-national park on the 100th anniversary of the enthronement of the Meiji emperor. Along with being one of Osaka Prefecture's most precious natural forests, this park also serves as the western starting point for the Tokai nature footpath. Zuiun Bridge in beautiful vermillion.
Visitors enjoy the changing scenery as it unfolds across the seasons.
The cherry blossoms of spring and the snow on the trees and icicles of winter give color to the setting, and the beauty of the leaves in deep autumn is particularly famed. Delightful autumn scenery. Minoo is a suburban city next to Osaka. Residential development is proceeding there and its population is increasing rapidly, but just a short distance from the city center is the abundant natural beauty of Minoo Park. Also found here is the Minoo Park Insect Museum.
