Makido Cave

This is a limestone cave said to have been found by a hunter chasing after a racoon. The 450m-long, 25m-wide cave is lit up colorfully for a fantastic effect. In 1929, the poet couple, Yosano Tekkan and Akiko praised it as extraordinary, hence, it was named as Maki Cave (Cave full of wonders).

It is a horizontal cave with little ups and downs. The temperatures are around 15°C throughout the year - cool in summer, and feels warm in winter. A red Ryugu bridge crosses over a sizable underground lake in the giant hall at the very end, where many stalactites and pillars have developed. They are lit up to bring a mystic ambience.

At the end of the path, the limestone “Senmaida” (Thousand Ricefields) appears, which is known as a location in a movie. There are about 30 tour spots named “Dream Palace,” “Kegon Waterfall,” “Lovers’ Fountain,” “Maiden and Mr. Urashima,” etc.
