Himesakakanachiana Limestone Cave, Solutional cave in Niimi, Japan
The limestone formations inside Himesakakanachiana Cave include numerous stalactites that develop through mineral deposits carried by water over geological periods.
During the final years of the Edo Period, a local hunter discovered the cave system while pursuing a raccoon dog through the forest.
Japanese poets Yosano Tekkan and Akiko inspired the alternative name Makido Cave, translating to a cave filled with magic in local interpretation.
The cave system features LED lighting installations along designated pathways, allowing visitors to examine geological structures in detail throughout their exploration.
The entrance area presents Koibito no Izumi, the Lovers' Pond, marked by a natural heart-shaped opening in the limestone wall.
