Saruda Cave in Hidaka Village is a history-rich hideaway secret spot where you can experience authentic "caving" (limestone cave exploration) advancing through a pitch-black world completely lacking artificial lights or paved tourist paths. Featured even in historical records from the Edo period, this limestone cave extends for a total length of about 1.4 kilometers, where participants advance while relying solely on flashlights and helmets, crawling through narrow rock gaps or climbing giant underground spaces. Mystical stalactites and stalagmites created over tens of thousands of years closely approach you inside the cave, letting you experience a realistic journey through the earth's womb. Disliking excessive commercialization, it thoroughly captivates international active travelers seeking genuine adventures and thrill.
