Taya Cave
Taya Cave (Taya San Yu Ga Dou) is a huge artificial cave, about 570 meters in total length. It originated in the 13th century and is now a registered historical site of Yokohama City. This cave was primarily made by Shingon Buddhist monks who excavated and sculpted the cave into the hillside.
Photos are not allowed inside the cave. These are screen shots from the Taya Cave website.
The Taya Cave site is about a 30 minute walk from the Ofuna train station. Or visitors can take a bus. The entrance fee is 400 yen and a candle is included with entry.
These are photos I took at the entrance of the site.
Another interesting place to visit!
