About this spot
"Nomizo Falls and the Kameiwa Cave" in Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba, Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture, is a fantastical scenic spot that became a topic on social media as "like a Ghibli world." The sight of morning sunlight entering the cave, said to have been made in the Edo period, reflecting off the water surface and drawing a beautiful "heart shape" wraps viewers in a feeling as if enchanted. This mystical phenomenon is said to be seen in the early morning around the equinoxes in March and September, but in other seasons you can also enjoy rich nature and a beautiful mountain stream. Fireflies dance in early summer, and vivid autumn leaves color the water surface in autumn, showing the faces of every season, which is another charm. Walking paths are maintained, so it is ideal for weekend strolls, dates, and girls' trips. With hot spring facilities and a roadside station nearby, it is the perfect place to refresh on a drive. Please experience, at least once, the art of silence and light that makes you forget everyday life.
