Furen Cave, Limestone cave in Usuki City, Oita Prefecture, Japan.
The cave extends approximately 500 meters through limestone formations, featuring numerous stalactites and stalagmites that create intricate patterns throughout the chambers.
Discovered in 1926, Furen Cave received immediate recognition as a Natural Monument of Japan due to its geological importance and exceptional limestone formations.
The central chamber, named Ryugujo after the mythical Dragon Palace from Japanese folklore, measures 10 meters high and 16 meters wide.
Located 20 kilometers from Saeki City, the cave maintains consistent temperatures year-round and includes informative guided tours explaining geological formations.
The cave contains rare helictite formations that grow sideways up to 10 centimeters, creating twisted shapes that differ from regular stalactites and stalagmites.
