Abukuma Cave あぶくま洞

Partez à l'aventure dans les profondeurs de la Terre

Visiter une grotte peut paraitre une activité surprenante lors d'un séjour au Japon : pourtant, les passionnés de spéléologie ou les familles seront ravis de découvrir que le pays abrite de nombreuses grottes intéressantes. Osez franchir le pas et partez découvrir la grotte d'Abukuma, au nord de Tokyo.

What to see in the Abukuma cave?

The specific rock formations of the cave are all entitled to their nickname!

Your visit will begin with the "Ghost Tower", a set of stalactites where faces appear to form, then with the "White Porcelain Waterfall".

Further on, visitors will be able to admire the transparency of the stalactites, nicknamed the "Crystal Curtain". The "Dragon Palace" is a huge hall 13 meters high.

The highlight of the show is undoubtedly the giant stalagmite 2 meters high, nicknamed the "Christmas tree".

One of the specificities of the cave is the presence of a boxwork, a raised calcite stringer, which takes the shape of the honeycombs of a beehive. All these rock formations are highlighted by colored light spots that give a special atmosphere to the place.
