Who wants to see illuminations in the caves? ??♂️??♀️
✨
Formed over 80 million years by underground streams and covered with stalactites and stalagmites are the Abukuma-do Caves (阿武隈洞). Located in Tamura-shi, Fukushima Prefecture, this 3 km limestone cave network was discovered in 1969, and subsequently 600 m of it has been opened to the public. The Abukuma-do caves are said to hold the biggest variety and number of stalactites in Asia. Each area of the cave network has a different name depending on the shape of the rock formations it contains. Many individual rocks also have their own name.
?
The temperature inside the cave stays consistently around 15 degrees Celsius, meaning that the caves stay cool during the summer, and mild in winter – a welcome change either season! There is also currently an illumination event being held inside the caves until February 28. So don’t miss out this opportunity guys!
