The word “kameiwa” directly translates to “ turtle’s rock.” The locals named the cave this way in the early 2000s, when a rock shaped like a turtle was found inside the cave. It was quite surprising to hear this, because the cave is easily around 15 meters in height! In actuality, though, it’s all man-made it was dug about 350 years ago to supply water to rice paddies. Upon first glance, you might think this is a product of nature. We passed by a bell and proceeded for another few minutes.Īnd here we were: Kameiwa Cave, which mistakenly became known and popular/famous as Nomizo Falls. The correct name for what’s been referred to as Nomizo Falls in social media is Kameiwa Cave - and is found further down the path. We were told that this, actually, is the Nomizo Falls. Within a few minutes, we came across a tiny waterfall.
It was early spring when we visited this place, and we saw some cute flowers starting to bloom along the path. It must be very beautiful in autumn, when leaves are changing colors! We also heard that, in early summer, you can spot fireflies in the area. It’s a nice five- to ten-minute walk to the falls, and the path is quiet and peaceful, being surrounded by forests. A panel located at the entrance of a path leading to Nomizo Falls Nomizo Falls is found in Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba, one of the five parks located along Lake Sasagawa and Katakura Dam.
Called “ Nomizo Falls,” it’s a scenic spot that’ll fascinate you - especially if you’re a fan of “My Neighbor Totoro,” “Spirited Away,” “Princess Mononoke” and other Hayao Miyazaki’s Studio Ghibli movies. There’s a place in Kimitsu, southern Chiba Prefecture, which has become very popular across social media since a couple of years ago.
