    Hiroshima Shobara-shi Higashishirocho Taishakumido 1940
    This limestone cave is one of the most spectacular found in Taishaku Gorge, which is in turn counted as one of the 100 Landscapes of Japan. Beyond its narrow entrance, the cave extends back 200 meters and is five-meters-wide and 20-meters-high. The entire area was once limestone tableland; extensive natural erosion over the ages has turned it into a sprawling karst plateau, and it is believed countless vast limestone caverns occupy the area underground. The stalactites, stalagmites, stone columns, and other structures inside the cave have been preserved in their natural state for visitors to enjoy. A wooden walkway and lights have been installed throughout the cave, making it possible to take in the cave’s natural beauty in comfort and safety.

There is more than meets the eye awaiting any Hiroshima-bound traveler. Kicking off in Hiroshima city, the Peace Memorial Park, Hiroshima Castle, and Shukkeien Garden offer a couple of days of exploring; however, the real beauty lies along the southern coast of the prefecture. There, a series of islands spreads across the Seto Inland Sea: from the mysterious sea-submerged Great Torii Gate at Miyajima Island to the first half of the islands that connect Honshu to Shikoku via six spectacular suspension bridges.
