Abukuma Cave

Mysterious natural chambers deep underground

Abukuma Cave
The largest hall, Takine Goten (Takine Hall), is absolutely breathtaking. The "Tsuki no Sekai," (The Moon World), the first of its kind in Japan to use a stage light control system in a limestone cave, recreates the sunrise and sunset, creating a fantastic mood. Stalactites "Kinoko Iwa" (Mushroom Rock), "Silver Frost" (Juhyo) and "Christmas Tree," are also worth a closer look.
In the Discovery Course, you can enjoy an adventure that involves an experience of crouching down or crossing a log bridge to maneuver through the natural formations.
This beautifully illuminated cave is also a great date spot and has been selected as a sacred place for lovers; ring the "vow bell" on the way to the cave for a memorable moment.
The temperature in the cave is around 15 degrees Celsius throughout the year, so be sure to dress appropriately. A jacket is recommended in the summer. The surface is slippery so wear appropriate footwear.  
At Rest House Kamayama, you can enjoy a meal and buy original products including Abukuma Lotion and Wine Salt.
