Cave
"A limestone cave located in Tomari, Notsu-machi, Usuki City. Discovered in 1926, the cave is 500 meters deep and has been designated a National Natural Monument. Largely unaffected by external influences like weathering caused by the outside air, the interior of the cave is a beautiful, lustrous almost pure white. Visitors to the cave can view 21 picturesque groupings of stalagmites including stalactites with names like the ""Tenjokai (celestial world),"" ""Remyokaku (miracle tower),"" and ""Zuiun-no-taki (waterfall of auspicious clouds)."""

  • 穴場の鍾乳洞

    鍾乳洞は全国にありますが、ここは特に美しいのに人が少なくておすすめです。入口の建物も昭和感があって面白いです。
  • 大正15年に発見されました

    奥行500mの鍾乳洞は「日本一美しい」と書かれています。いろいろな名前が付けられた鍾乳石が見事です。中でも、一番奥まった所にある「竜宮城」と名付けられた広場が特に見ごたえがあります。現在の入り口の隣に、大正15年に青年団が入った入り口があるのですが、途中が地下水で通行不可となっており、入場できなくなっています。ただ、入り口の上に、当時発見したであろう人々の名前を記した石があます。
  • 鍾乳洞好きには○

    誰が言ったか、大分三大鍾乳洞の1つ。県外のそれと比べると規模は小さいが、客の少ない鍾乳洞、というのも良いもんだな、と感じれる穴場観光地。
