Ruri Gorge

Visited the waterfall and its located 1 min from the car park. I thought there'll be a trail but had to walk by the road. Waterfall itself was on the smaller side, but was a nice stop to get away from the city and take it slow.

The people at the open air cafe are nice (open April - November). The coffee is good. There is a lot of beautiful nature. The mountain road running to-from Osaka is very scenic.

Nice little stream along a quiet road. Only a vending machine around to get some basic drinks, so bring your own food etc. There's a few tables for a picnic and a nice walk around the area on local trails. Need a car or motorbike to get there!
