Exploring the Blue Caves of Ryusendo
Hey guys. We're here in Iwaizumi Town in Iwate Prefecture at Ryusendo Cave. It's considered one of the Three Great Limestone Caves in Japan so let's find out why.
The entire network of caves runs about 5,000 meters (16,404 ft) but we can only explore 700 of them.
One of the most interesting points of the cave is the final lake, which actually goes 98 meters (321.5 ft) deep. You can almost see to the bottom of it—it's that clear.
The biggest cave in japan
The widest,longest cave in Japan the Shuhodo in Yamaguchi Prefecture, length is about 10 kms.

Under the Akiyoshidai Plateau, there are countless caves known as limestone caverns which were formed by erosion of the limestone. The largest of them is Akiyoshidai Cave
Akiyoshido Cave, the Orient's best large limestone cavern, opens on the south foot of Akiyoshidai Plateau. The cave entrance reaches a height of 24 meters and width of 8 meters. Inside, the cave reaches 100 meters in width at its broadest point and 80 meters in height at its highest ceiling point.
Its total length is said to be about ten kilometers. The ordinary sightseeing route, however, is about one kilometer long and includes 26 well-known sights, such as Koganebashira (Golden Pillar) and Hyakumaizara (Hundred Saucers).
The temperature inside the cave is a constant 17°C in all seasons. And since the tour route is equipped with accommodations such as walking trails and elevators, the cave can be explored enjoyably and comfortably.
As one would expect from a cave said to be the Orient's best in both size and scenic beauty, it is a mystical world in which large naturally sculpted works of beauty appear one after the other.
It was named Akiyoshido Cave by Emperor Hirohito, who explored its beauty during a visit in 1926.

[TRIPofJHL] 단양 온달동굴 여행…
단양군의 흥미로운 동굴 중의 하나인 온달동굴(溫達洞窟).
- 총길이는 약 760m에 달한다.
- 관리공단에서 상상력을 발휘하여 바위, 종유석, 석순 등에 재미있는 이름을 붙였는데, 용, 코끼리, 도담삼봉, 거북이 등이 적혀있는 것을 볼 수 있다.
- 높다랗게 펼쳐진 넓은 구간도 있고 허리를 웅크려야 지나갈만큼 좁은 구간도 있어서 방문객은 안전모 착용이 필수.
- 탐방로 양옆으로 많은 양의 물이 흐르는게 단양의 다른 동굴과 구분되는 특징이다. 하지만, 관광객이 수서생물을 찾기란 거의 불가하다.
- 학자들은 이 동굴이 약 4억5천만년 전부터 형성되었을 것으로 추정하고 있다.
- '온달'이라는 명칭은 6세기 고구려의 장수 온달에서 온 것. 익히 들어온 '온달과 평강공주'의 그 온달 맞다. 근처에 온달의 지시로 축조된 온달산성이 있어서 온달동굴이라고 지어졌다. 과거 기록에서 사용된 명칭은 남굴(南窟) 또는 성산굴(城山窟)이었다고 한다.
- 천정의 종유석과 땅위의 석순은 천천히 자연적으로 자라며 오랜 세월후에 만나 석주를 이루게 된다.

Driving towards Sohra from Dainthlen Falls in Meghalaya.
Just before reaching Sohra, a road to the right, leads one to the falls which is 5 kms away. Among the many falls that Cherrapunjee boasts of, Dain Thlen Falls is also one of the famous falls. Many tourists flock the falls especially as it has an interesting legend associated with it.
The waterfall derives its name from a Thlen (Khasi word for Python). As
per the legend, people decided to rid themselves of evil, captured the Thlen and killed it at the wide flat rock over-looking the waterfall. Adjacent to the very spot where the Thlen was slaughtered lies the Dain-thlen Waterfalls. Natural rock carvings of the episode draw visitors to see the image of the Thlen, the symbol of greed, corruption and evil.
