Fugoppe Cave

The cave contains over 800 ancient engravings depicting humans, boats, fish, marine mammals, and four-legged animals carved into sandstone walls.

Dating back to the Late Jomon period between 2000 and 1500 years ago, this cave served as a ritual site where people created petroglyphs.

The numerous engravings of figures with horns and wings represent shamanic practices and religious ceremonies performed by ancient inhabitants.

The cave opens from April 13 to December 15, with admission fees of 300 yen for adults and 100 yen for students.

This archaeological site features a 7-meter-thick layer containing artifacts, including pottery, stone tools, and bone implements from prehistoric times.
