🌿 Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba | Kimitsu’s Enchanted Streamscape
In the quiet forests of Kimitsu City, Chiba, lies Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba (清水渓流広場・しみずけいりゅうひろば) —
a serene natural sanctuary shaped by clear streams, mossy stone walls, and gentle forest light.
At its heart are Nomizo Falls (濃溝の滝) and the mystical Kameiwa Cave (亀岩の洞窟),
a place where sunlight once created a heart-shaped reflection that captivated visitors from around the world.
Here, water and light speak softly —
every ripple, shadow, and ray feels like part of a quiet story written by nature.
🍃 Where Light Breathes Through Stone
Shimizu Keiryu Hiroba changes its expression with the seasons.
In spring, fresh green leaves glow above the water.

In autumn, warm colors reflect on the tranquil stream.
In winter, the forest becomes still, wrapped in soft silence.
Wooden walkways and riverside trails lead you through this calm world,
where the sound of flowing water follows your steps like a gentle melody.
