The space is like being lost in the world of Ghibli, and is also perfect for taking photos. It is a treasure trove of nature that shows different expressions with each season, such as early summer when fireflies dance and autumn when the leaves are beautiful. It is recommended for those who want to be quietly healed alone, and those who want to spend a romantic time with their partner. 🚃Access: About 15 minutes by taxi from "Kazusa Kameyama Station" on the JR Kururi Line. 🚗By car: About 38 minutes from "Kimitsu IC" on the Tateyama Expressway, about 33 minutes from "Kisarazu Higashi IC" on the Ken-O Expressway.

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

"Kazusa's Direct Sales Shop Aisaibatake" is a stylish shop that looks like it's from overseas, not like a direct sales shop.

Visiting **Mother Farm**, nestled on Mt. Kano in Chiba Prefecture, my deepest impression was the "healing vitality" woven into the natural surroundings. Spanning a massive 250 hectares, this sprawling farm isn't just a top family destination in the Kanto region; it transforms the livestock industry into a beautifully immersive feast for the five senses. When it comes to activities, the absolute must-sees are the **"Duck Parade"** and the **"Sheep Show"** guided by talented sheepdogs. Watching flocks of sheep race across the lush green hillsides radiates a vibrant energy that makes you completely forget the stress of city life. The magnificent seasonal flower fields—from vibrant yellow rapeseed blossoms in the spring to striking red kochia bushes in the autumn—paint the entire mountainside like a picture-perfect postcard, all set against the breathtaking backdrop of Tokyo Bay and the majestic Mount Fuji. Strolling along the ridge-line trails while savoring the farm's own rich, creamy **fresh milk ice cream** is the ultimate farm-to-table treat and a pure delight. More than just a tourist farm, it offers a cozy sanctuary where you can rediscover your inner child and connect with animals in the crisp mountain air. It’s a heartwarming getaway filled with laughter, blooming flowers, and the sweet aroma of fresh dairy.

[Nomizo Falls | Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture "A fantastical landscape created by the light shining through. Light art created by nature"] · Nomizo Falls is a small waterfall in the mountains of Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture. Originally only known to locals, it became famous overnight thanks to a single photo. The morning light shining through the cave reflects on the water's surface, creating a heart-shaped light -- a true "natural fantasy." But when you actually go there, it's not just a photogenic spot. The air is clear, the sound of the river is quiet, and you feel like your five senses are reset. ⸻ 📍【Location & Access】 ・Address: Sasa, Kimitsu City, Chiba Prefecture ・Access: About 15 minutes by car from "Kazusa Kameyama Station" on the JR Kururi Line / About 40 minutes by car from Kimitsu IC ・Located in "Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba" next to "Kameiwa Cave" ・Free parking available (with toilets and shops) 🕰️【Recommended time of day】 ・Best time is around 6:30-8:00 in the morning (time when the morning sun shines into the cave) ・The heart-shaped light is easiest to see on a clear day + early morning in spring to summer 💰【Admission fee】 ・Free (free to enter and exit as a park) ⸻ 💧Recommended points · "Heart light" created by the morning sun shining from the back of the cave 　→ It can only be seen under certain conditions, but the impression when you do see it is exceptional · The promenade along the river is quiet and relaxing 　→ Not only the waterfall, but the babbling of the river and the sunlight filtering through the trees are pleasant. · The balance between the moss and rocks in front of the waterfall is beautiful. → A three-dimensional landscape that cannot be conveyed by photos alone. · We recommend visiting the nearby Lake Kameyama and Yoro Valley as a set. ⸻ 📸 Tips ・Whether you can see the heart light depends on luck. But it's worth going just for the morning air. ・There are muddy areas on the promenade, so sneakers are recommended. ・If you go early in the morning, there will be many camera people with tripods, but the manners are good. ・After noon, there will be backlighting and many people, and the quiet atmosphere will be halved. ⸻ #Nomizo Falls #Chiba's scenic spots #Chiba #Absolutely free trip

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.

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
