Ryusendo Caves and Amber Museum

We took a tour about 3 hours from home to the Ryuseendo Caves. This cave system is a limestone cave, of which 3100 meters have been explored (the cave is believed to be about 5000 meters total). We got to see a lot of it, and saw the deep, super clear underground lakes (up to 98 meters deep!), stalactites, and stalagmites. We didn’t see a bat in the cave even though we really looked, but we ended up seeing a bat in another close by much smaller cave.

Right outside the cave is beautiful nature of Japan which we walked around.

The cave goes into that mountain!

After spelunking, we went to an amber museum and made amber jewelry. Amber is from tree sap up to 85 million years ago. One of the biggest mining sites for amber is here where we made the jewelery in Japan.
