Shoryudo Cave

Okinoerabujima has many caves, some of which can only be entered with a tour guide. Caving tours are held daily, and are recommended for cave lovers. Shoryudo is a cave that you can easily drop into. It is a large tourist cave that unfolds in an underground world, and is introduced at the entrance as one of the nine best caves in Japan. My impression was that it was like a sculpture of nature created by groundwater over a long period of time. The countless silvery-white stalactites hanging from the ceiling are said to be the most beautiful in the Orient, and 600m of the total length of 3,500m is open to the public. The development of the stalactites due to their transformation from the coral sea is amazing, and some of the countless silvery-white stalactites hanging from the ceiling are called Christmas trees and music halls.
