In , there is a cave hidden behind the . Normally, if the player enters the cave, they will find an empty cave with a broken radio. If the player takes a promotional event as the walking Pokémon to the Ilex Forest shrine, Celebi will take the player back in time, allowing them to Giovanni here. Outside the event, this cave is otherwise useful for collecting items found via without any concern of a wild Pokémon encounter.

========
Tohjo Falls appeared in Chinchou in Charge and Lovely Lanturn, where Misty, Brock, and Erika passed through them on their way to Johto. While crossing a rope bridge, Misty fell into a waterfall and saved a that was in trouble. Afterwards, she was challenged by . The battle ended when Suicune recognized Misty as worthy to be its partner and joined her party, after which she reunited with Brock and Erika.
==Trivia==

===Origin===
The Tohjo Falls seem to be similar to the real-life , as both have two s serving as a well-known boundary between two places.
====Name origin====
The Japanese name トージョウ shows that the location of the falls is a boundary between the two regions: at the end of カントー and the beginning of ジョウト. This naming convention is popular in Japan, as in 京葉 (; named for 東京 and 千葉 ) and 東名 (; named for 東京 Tōkyō and 名古屋 ). Its English name can also be taken as an anagram of Johto. Its Korean name is a portmanteau of 관동 Gwandong (Kanto) and 성도 Seongdo (Johto), while its Chinese name is both an inversion of 城都 Chéngdū (Johto) and a portmanteau of 關都 Guāndū (Kanto) and 城都 Chéngdū.
