The water that springs out from Iwama is called the “Fountain of Eternal Age,” and it quenches the thirst of visitors.

Among the limestone caves scattered in the Taishaku Gorge, it is the only limestone cave that can be visited. The entrance is narrow, but the depth is about 200m, and the wide area is 5m wide and 20m high. All floors in the cave are boarded, safe and electrically lit. When you enter, the natural beauty of the wall is approaching from both sides, and it is an unimaginable beauty. You can see various shapes of stalactites and stalagmites. It is a satisfying limestone cave where you can see good things after the tour.
