The tea house is not currently operating following a fire. Snack stalls selling local specialties including deep-fried maple leaf tempura are available along the trail near the falls.
Snack stalls are available near Minoh Falls and at Minoh Kayano Station. Guests may also bring their own lunch. Lunch is taken during free time near the waterfall. Food and drink are not included in the tour price.
Sturdy walking shoes are essential. The trail includes uneven surfaces, stairs, and narrow sections. Layered clothing is recommended as mountain temperatures can differ from central Osaka. Sun protection and rain gear are advisable depending on the forecast.
