💡 Tips for Visitors

Wear comfortable walking shoes with good grip as cave floors can be slippery and uneven. Bring a light jacket as temperatures inside caves remain cool year-round, typically around 15°C (59°F). Cash is recommended as many smaller natural attractions in rural Japan may not accept credit cards, and English signage may be limited.
