Fugoppe Cave, Prehistoric art cave in Yoichi, Japan
Fugoppe Cave is a rock shelter with over 800 ancient engravings carved into sandstone walls. The images depict humans, boats, fish, marine mammals, and four-legged animals from prehistoric times.
The cave dates to the Late Jomon period, roughly 2000 to 1500 years ago. It served as a ritual site where early people created these petroglyphs.
The carved figures with horns and wings reflect spiritual practices of the earlier inhabitants. These images offer insight into the religious rituals and ceremonies that took place within this shelter.
The site is open to visitors from April through December and offers straightforward access to the rock shelter. Plan your visit during these months and wear appropriate footwear for the rocky terrain.
Beneath the engravings lies a 7-meter-thick layer of artifacts from prehistoric times. This deposit contains pottery, stone tools, and bone implements that show the long use of this place.
