All you need to know about Abukuma-do, a super cool summer resort in Tamura City, Fukushima Prefecture



What is Abukuma-do?

Abukuma-do Cave is a natural beauty created over a long period of time.
The 600-meter-long cave is a mysterious world of infinite variety, including stalactites that drop from the ceiling and stalagmites that accumulate like bamboo shoots from under the floor.

Each of the various forms of beauty created by the erosion of the groundwater that flows down from the cave have their own names and fascinate visitors.
In “Takine Goten,” the largest hall in the three-tiered cave, visitors can view crystal curtains, boxwork, shields, cave corals, and other precious stalactites that can only be seen here up close.

In addition, there are a series of natural wonders that never cease to impress the viewer, such as the Dragon Palace, the Moon World, tree ice, Christmas trees, and petrified tree forests.

Because it is a cave, the temperature inside the cave is about 15 degrees Celsius all year round, making it cool in summer and warm in winter, making it a very nice sightseeing spot.
