Seiryū Cave, Limestone cave in Kitakyushu, Japan
The cave extends 900 meters in a northeasterly direction with walls reaching heights of 15 meters and widths of 10 meters throughout the passageway.
The natural formation developed over millions of years through the continuous erosion of limestone by underground water flows, creating extensive geological structures.
Research teams have documented numerous fossil discoveries within the cave system, including remains of prehistoric animals that inhabited the region.
Visitors should bring appropriate footwear and warm clothing as the cave maintains a constant temperature of 16 degrees Celsius throughout the year.
The entrance features 30 distinct stalactites of varying dimensions, formed by mineral-rich water dripping through the limestone ceiling over thousands of years.
