鷲沢風穴

Inside the Washizawa Wind Cave, naturally carved limestone formations create intricate patterns along the walls and ceiling, extending deep into the mountain.

The cave formation process began millions of years ago through geological activities, resulting in the current network of underground passages and chambers.

Local communities have integrated the cave into their traditions, using its constant cool temperature for food preservation throughout different seasons.

Visitors can access the cave through guided tours, with necessary equipment provided at the entrance, maintaining a temperature of 10 degrees Celsius year-round.

The cave contains specific mineral deposits and geological features that scientists study to understand the regional tectonic movements of ancient Japan.
