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.

#springwander The "Kameiwa Cave", where the light shining into the cave is as beautiful as a spotlight, is part of the Shimizu Keiyu Square in Chiba Prefecture. The reason for its popularity is that the light reflected depending on the season and looks heart-shaped. It is surprising that it was artificially dug about 350 years ago to pass water for rice fields.

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.
