[Chiba Prefecture] A ray of light in the shape of a heart that brings happiness! Chiba's "Nomizo Falls"

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.
