Susenoja cave, Cave and archaeological site in Toyohashi, Japan.

The natural limestone cave extends 70 meters deep into the hillside, featuring a 1.3-meter-high entrance and multiple internal chambers.

Archaeological excavations between 1965 and 1922 uncovered early Jomon period artifacts, including pottery, stone tools, and bone needles dating back to 10,000 BC.

The cave system holds traditional Japanese legends about a secret tunnel connecting to Zenko-ji temple and tales of gold protected by supernatural entities.

Visitors can reach the cave by taking the Toyotetsu Bus from Toyohashi Station to Kakuyama stop, followed by a ten-minute walk to the location.

The cave served as a dwelling on an ancient thoroughfare through Honsaka Pass, connecting the historical regions of Mikawa and Totomi Provinces.
