Fugaku Wind Cave, Natural monument lava tube in Fujikawaguchiko, Japan.
The cave extends 201 meters in length with 8.7-meter-high ceilings, maintaining a constant temperature of 3 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The cave formation dates back to 864 CE when Mount Fuji's volcanic eruption created this underground structure through cooling lava flows.
Local folklore tells of a dragon deity residing in the ancient lake that preceded the cave, with a dedicated shrine at nearby Ryugu Cave.
The cave functions as a natural cold storage facility, previously used for preserving silkworm eggs and creating ice blocks for regional distribution.
The basalt walls contain luminescent moss that produces greenish-gold reflections, known locally as Dragon's gold or goblin gold.
