CAVE EXPERIENCE
Nippara Limestone Cave

The cave interior maintains a constant 11°C throughout the year — refreshingly cool in summer and warm in winter. Boasting a scale unrivaled in the Kanto region, the cave unfolds with a series of fantastical landscapes: the solemn Byakui Kannon, the Gama Rock resembling a giant frog, and the seemingly endless Tenjoshirazu that draws you into the distant past. The newly discovered section is a world unto itself, crowded with magnificently grown stalagmites and pillars. It is the undisputed highlight of the approximately 40-minute cave tour. Icicle-like stalactites take 200 years to grow just 3 centimeters, while upward-growing stalagmites require 400 years. Come and marvel at the mysteries of nature beyond imagination.
