2025 Kimitsu Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

Tokyo is the hometown of many Hong Kongers😂 However, Tokyo is the capital of Japan🇯🇵 naturally more high-rise buildings If you want to see the natural scenery then you can actually 😌 go to the neighboring Chiba Prefecture It has a waterfall called Nonggu no Taki Only about 100 kilometers from Tokyo🙈 about an hour drive Because its environment is very quiet so locals think it is a wonderland😎 The 滝 of the deep ditch can actually be called the cave of 亀岩 👏🏻 It is a stone wall cave in Kamogawa River Road, Junzu City, Chiba Prefecture The historical record is probably excavated 350 years ago in the pre-Edo period So it is very historical 👍🏻👍🏻 Its special thing is that when the sunlight ☀️ through the cave and then seen from a certain angle will form a spotlight effect 🥰 is a very special scene However, because it is located in the woods, you may have to wait for the sun☀️ to shine If you plan to visit this attraction, it is best to go about 10 days before and after the vernal equinox in March and September in Japan to see the most stunning scenery #See the Earth in an instant #Look at the Earth in an instant #Summer Good Places #Resident Writer #Overseas Travel #Parent-Child Good Places #Winter Travel #I Miss

I had been curious about it for a long time, and finally went there yesterday. There is a paid parking lot in front of the gate for 300 yen, and a free parking lot 5 minutes walk from there. You can find it on the map. Admission is 310 yen for adults, 100 yen for elementary and junior high school students (free for elementary, junior high, and high school students on Saturdays). Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, there were only 2-3 groups of customers, including us, so we were able to look around at our leisure. Hina dolls are displayed right at the entrance. I guess they're holding a Hina doll event. There are many Hina dolls displayed in various rooms, and each one has a different face, so it was very fun and relaxing. Of course, the Ito residence and garden are also wonderful. It's very cold at this time of year, so it might be a good idea to bring room socks. #coupletrip #gourmet #historicalsite #greatview #gourmettrip #gourmettrip

A bakery in the forest that makes you feel like you've wandered into a mysterious forest. Even though you're in Chiba, you're suddenly in a forest that makes you feel like you're overseas. There's a pizza oven outside and a big wood stove inside the shop. It's a place that really feels like it came out of a storybook. #exotic #photogenic

"Kazusa's Direct Sales Shop Aisaibatake" is a stylish shop that looks like it's from overseas, not like a direct sales shop. We spent some time relaxing outside on the terrace, eating fresh strawberries surrounded by greenery. 🍳 The outdoor path and the walls inside were both too cute. #Flower field #Exotic atmosphere

Only a day-trip's distance away from Tokyo, on the Boso Peninsula of Chiba Prefecture, is Kameiwa Cave. Only in the past few years, the beauty of this cave has captivated the hearts of many travelers. The cave is not only covered in lush nature reminiscent of a Studio Ghibli movie; it also has a certain "heart-shaped" scenery that shows itself under the right conditions. This scenery was what went viral on social media, and made Kameiwa Cave an immediate hit with tourists in Japan. With images, this article will introduce the picturesque Kameiwa Cave, its best views, and things to do in the area. Kameiwa Cave is located in Shimizu Keiryu Park, in the city of Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture. The public park is equipped with a nice walking trail that can be taken to explore the park. Kameiwa Cave is actually a man-made cave. Around 1660, the cave was made to serve as a tunnel to help with irrigating nearby rice fields.

I've picked 6 recommended spots in Chiba that I'm glad I visited! ① Nokogiriyama ② Nomizo Falls ③ Tokyo Disney Resort ④ Tokyo German Village ⑤ Kamogawa Sea World ⑥ Mother Farm If you're going to Chiba, be sure to visit them 🤗 #recommendedlist #chiba

Introducing the recommended route of Minamiboso, surrounded by nature and sweet healing. ① Umihotaru PA (Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line) Start your trip from the sea! You can see the whole of Tokyo Bay from the observation deck, and don't miss the famous clam buns and soft serve ice cream. ② Honey Workshop A facility where you can experience beekeeping, and taste freshly harvested honey on the spot.

Fuji, and spend a movie-like time in this photogenic place. ④ Otsunosato Flower Club The greenhouse where you can enjoy seasonal flowers is attractive. At this time of year, colorful flowers are in full bloom, and you will be enveloped in a warm atmosphere typical of Minamiboso.

Chiba is a place where you can experience the great outdoors even though it is close to Tokyo. We will introduce you to a rural driving trip with many charms! It is especially fun from spring to summer!! ①Isumi Railway, Niitano Station (first photo) The Isumi Railway with its cute yellow train🚃 Especially during the spring cherry blossom and rape blossom season, the retro and cute local train is very beautiful combined with the spring scenery🤍 This railway is very popular with railway fans, and there are several spots where you can see beautiful scenery. I visited Niitano Station. Of course, it is nice to watch the train from outside, but it is also recommended to buy a one-day free pass and enjoy the Chiba scenery from inside the train. Currently, all lines are suspended due to last year's derailment accident, but I hope that they will resume operation next spring and we will be able to see the beautiful spring scenery! ②Haraoka Pier (Okamoto Pier) (photos 2-4) Haraoka Pier (Okamoto Pier) is famous for its nostalgic scenery. In the evening, you can enjoy the beautiful collaboration of the pier and the sunset, so it is a recommended time to visit. From the pier, you can see the Izu Peninsula, and if the weather is good, Mt. Fuji🗻! ! Because of its beauty, it seems to be often used in commercials☺️ It is a happy time to walk on the pier while looking at the sea and feeling the breeze🙆♀️ ③Nomizo Falls and Kameiwa Cave (photo 5) A natural spot with a somewhat Ghibli-like atmosphere. A place where you can enjoy beautiful scenery in every season. For photography lovers, the view of light shining through the cave and reflecting on the water is irresistible. The reflection forms a heart shape, making it photogenic🤍 However, it is a rather rare view that can only be seen in the early morning around the vernal equinox in March and the autumnal equinox in September. Be sure to head out early in the morning to see this view! There are small waterfalls and promenades surrounded by nature, so take a leisurely stroll. I think it will be a weekend trip where you can relax with the negative ions. It's a place that is hard to get to without a car, but please rent a car and enjoy the nature. ✈︎---------------------------------------------✈︎ 📍: Chiba, Japan 📸 : iPhone ✈︎----------------------------------------------✈︎ #DomesticTravelGuide #Chiba #ChibaTourism #ChibaTrip #ChibaPrefecture

Kameiwa Cave (Nomizo Falls) Kameiwa Tunnel (Nomizo Falls) Kameiwa Tunnel is a man-made irrigation channel to divert water to agricultural areas in this area. A long time ago, the waterway you see here was not a natural waterfall. Today, we can call this area in many ways, such as Kameiwa Tunnel or Nomizo Falls. The special thing about this place is that if you come at the right time, you will see the morning sunlight pass through the tunnel and reflect on the water surface in the shape of a heart, which is amazing. #TravelJapan #japantrip #chiba #tokyo #GetDiscountsWithoutLuck

The Nomizo Falls and Kameiwa Cave in Kimitsu, Chiba Prefecture, are fantastical spots that make you feel as if you have wandered into the world of Ghibli. In particular, the moment when the morning sun shines into the cave and reflects on the water's surface, creating a heart-shaped light, has become a hot topic on social media! The best time to see this heart-shaped light is early in the morning (around 6:30-7:30) during the equinox in March and September! After enjoying the beauty of nature, take a break at the nearby hidden soba restaurant SOBA ABIRU. With a log cabin-style exterior, the interior is a relaxing space where you can feel the warmth of wood. The handmade soba noodles made with domestic buckwheat flour are served with locally produced ingredients, and the duck soba and tempura soba are particularly popular. 📍Basic information (check the website for the latest information) ✴︎Nomizo Falls and Kameiwa Cave ・Address: 1954 Sasa, Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture ・Access: 33 minutes by car from Kisarazu East IC on the Ken-O Expressway ・Fee: Free ・Opening hours: 24 hours (*Early morning visit recommended) ・Parking: Approximately 130 regular cars (free) ✴︎SOBA ABIRU ・Address: 1654-1 Sasa, Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture ・Access: 5 minutes by car from Nomizo Falls ・Opening hours: 11:30-15:00 (closes when soba runs out) ・Closed: Thursdays (irregular holidays) ・Parking: Over 10 spaces available #Spring 0 yen trip

Noumizonotaki Falls is located in Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba, Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture. This small waterfall became one of Chiba Prefecture's most popular tourist attractions after a photographer posted a photo of it on Instagram. The official name of Noumizonotaki Falls is Kameiwa Cave. Long ago, it was an artificial tunnel made to draw water to rice fields, and it is said that it was given this name because a rock resembling a turtle was discovered in the tunnel. (The original "Noumizo" falls is located in the opposite direction.) The light beams shining into the tunnel are truly fantastical, and it has become known to many fans as being "Ghibli-like." The most popular time of the year for Nomizo Falls is when the light beams shining into the tunnel form a heart shape. For seven days, including three days before and after the spring equinox and the autumn equinox, many tourists flock to the area as the "heart that brings happiness," and it has now developed into an overtourism problem. It is a spectacular view that is worth seeing at least once, while keeping to the rules. Location: Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba, 1954-17 Sasa, Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture Admission and parking are free Access: From the Tokyo Bay Aqua-Line Kimitsu IC, take the Boso Skyline or Prefectural Route 92 for about 40 minutes by car #Seasonal places in Japan #Spectacular views #Chiba Prefecture #The world of Ghibli

Family, we found a treasure! There is a mysterious and dreamy niche treasure hidden in Japan, which is very popular on Instagram. It is the heart-shaped reflection waterfall [Nomizo no Taki], which is located in Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture, near Tokyo. Nearby is Saw Mountain, which has the largest stone Buddha sculpture in Japan. In autumn, you can go to the famous maple viewing spot [Yoro Valley] 🍁. In winter, you can see colorful lights in the Tokyo German Village. It captures the beauty of the four seasons and is worth checking out! 📍Best viewing time 🌟The best time to view the Heart Reflection Nonggou Waterfall is at sunrise when the sunlight pours in from the cave entrance. The scene is so beautiful that it seems like something out of a fairy tale book. No wonder many well-known photographers wait for this period to take blockbuster photos! 👉March and September 👉6:30～7:30 AM ⚠️Please note that due to different seasons, the sunrise time and angle will vary, and the effect of the photo will also be different. 🌟Best time to watch fireflies 👉Summer (July to August) 🌟Best time to view red leaves 👉Autumn (October to November) Family members, pick a suitable time to rush, and you will definitely get a good film💯 #日本旅游 #小尼斯景点 #心情瀑布 #东京景点

#thingstodo The park is always well-maintained and has a pleasant feel. There are supermarkets and convenience stores in the area, and when plum blossoms bloom, there are many of them, so the scent of plum blossoms wafts through the air. The plaza is large and you can run around, and there are play equipment so kids can have fun. The plum blossoms, which are carefully cared for by locals, are now in full bloom. Every day, many people visit and receive healing. The daffodils at my feet are also beautiful.

#2024wish It's a shrine with a wonderful view. The way to get here was steep and long. I arrived here first thing in the morning, so I was able to see the residential area and industrial area of Kimitsu City under the blue sky. The shrine is quite splendid and elaborately made. The timing when I came was the time when the Shichi-go-san visit was doing. There was a side signboard for the commemorative photo. Now that I think about it, I could go more easily if I went from Aohori Station. I wish to travel more in 2024

Tokyo is definitely a popular attraction for Hong Kong people🥹 However, it has more high-rise buildings so if you travel to Tokyo and want to take pictures of natural scenery, you might as well try to go to Chiba Prefecture😝 And Nogu no Taki Falls is only about 100 kilometers from this concrete forest in Tokyo☺️ is only a medium drive away Because of its quiet environment, it is known as a secret place in Japan🇯🇵🤩 The cave of Nenggu is also known as the cave of 亀岩😚 It is a stone wall cave in Kamogawa River Road, Junzu City, Chiba Prefecture 🤣 It was dug 350 years ago in the early Edo period. The whole hole is about 15 meters high🤪 When the sunlight ☀️ diagonally passes through the cave, it will form a spotlight effect 👍🏻 And at specific angles can be more able to shoot 🎬 to the sunlight ☀️ and reflection formed a horizontal heart shape ❤️❤️ couples 💑 Ni is very romantic 🌹 It also has more than the world described by Asahi Shimbun as depicted by Studio Ghibli 😬 You can imagine how beautiful it is However, it is not easy to take pictures😂 If you want to capture the heart-shaped reflection, you must pay attention to the month and time Only the angle of sunlight ☀️ in the morning in March and September every year will form a heart shape with the reflection 😚 However, the traffic is quite annoying😂 From Tokyo Station to Upper Kuyama Station you have to change trains 3 times😂 Then transfer to the Juntsu Contact Bus to Kamogawa Station/Kagihara Shimizu-Ryuhiroba Line and get off at Nogu Falls Station The whole process may take 2 and a half middle so if you plan to go it is best to stay a little closer the day before 🤏🏻 But it's really worth a look🤩 #TokyoAttractions #OverseasTravel #ResidentWriter #FamilyGood Places #WeekendTravel #JapanTravel #JapanAttractions #JapanFreeTravel #JapanTrip #TokyoFreeTravel #Tokyo #ParentFamilyGood Places Guide
