Nōmizo Waterfall & Turtle-Rock Cave

A beautiful park with a rest stop and clean toilets. The highlight is the turtle cave waterfall. The trail is easy and short, best during spring or fall. Worth a stop if you are nearby.

The best views are very early in the morning (6am-7am) that too on sunny days, so don’t expect to see sights like in the photos. Apart from that, it’s a nice and peaceful place. Has free parking and a few restaurants nearby.

The heart shape can only be seen in March and September for 1 hour early morning 6:30-7:30 and the Fireflies can only be seen in May-June so except for these periods it is just a simple forest walk. It has toilets and food stalls (in early August when we went there) not worth it traveling all the way to here just for this but in the area there the Kamogawa beaches so you can just visit it on the way to other local attractions.

Very beautiful spot and it seems famous and attracts people outside of Japan too.

A rare cave where a creek comes thru it. Magnificent view when the sunlight shines in at a specific time of the day at a right angle. The place is not big but with parking lots and shops on both ends. It is beginning a popular sightseeing spot in Chiba now and can get pretty crowded especially when tour buses arrive.
