One of Japan's largest limestone caves. The sightseeing course inside the cave is about 1 km long. The beauty of the magnificent natural formations, such as the "Golden Pillar" and "Hyakumaizara" (100 Plates), which took hundreds of millions of years to create, is breathtaking. There is also an adventure course where you can explore the cave.
