Designated a national natural monument and historic site, Ryugado Cave was formed over 175 million years ago. The cave is approximately 4 kilometers in length and about 1 kilometer of the cave is open to the public.
Among the mysterious natural sights the cave presents, there is also a projection mapping exhibit which fuses the ancient with the technological future.
The cave even has Wi-Fi!
Put on a headlight and try the adventure course which takes you through parts of the cave so narrow you will need to crawl to get through! (Note that you will need to book in advance to go on the adventure course.)
