Are you looking to escape the summer heat, the cold of the winter or just someone that loves exploring caverns and marvelling at their beauty? Then look no further than Ryugashido Cavern in Hamamatsu. Situated beneath Mount Ryugashi, the temperature inside the cave is a constant 18 to 20 degrees Celsius all year round. This is one of the largest caves in Japan and allows visitors to navigate 400m inside (of a total 1000m) with a foot path and good lighting to enhance the experience.
