Komakado Kazaana Cave
The Komakado Kazaana Cave is a natural monument of Japan and, according to the brochure is "the Largest Lava Tube Near Mt. Fuji". The lava tube was formed when Mt. Fuji erupted about 10,000 years ago. It is the oldest unadulterated lava tube in Japan. The cave was designated a Natural Monument in March 1922 and is managed by volunteers from a local preservation group. The entry fee is 300 yen.
There are three small shrines at the entrance.
There are some electric lights, but you still have to watch where you are walking. It is a little slick. Water drips from the ceiling, so wearing a raincoat is a good idea.
The cave continues, but visitors aren't allowed to go any further.
The exit, looking out.
Out into the sunshine again.

This is a cool place to visit in the summer. Did you see any of the bats they are warning about?
What an interesting trip!
Oh, what a great monument. I love caves!
It's mysterious and wonderful. It must have been cool.
