Akasaki Stalactite Cave
赤崎鍾乳洞Kagoshima · Kyushu
A roughly 120-metre limestone cave on Yoron's southeastern coast, formed as groundwater slowly dissolved the uplifted coral reef that makes up the island. Inside are coral fossils, terraced 'rice-field' rock formations and named chambers such as the Gate of Happiness and the Snow Terraces; at the entrance you are lent a helmet and torch.
