Taishodo Cave

Taishodo Cave, situated at the northeastern end of Akiyoshidai Quasi-National Park, was called Ushikakushi-no-do (“hidden cow cave”) in ancient times, as it is said that villagers would hide their cattle there during times of war or unrest for fear of theft. The cave has many great sights, including the “The Entrance to Hell", the “Wobbly Road”, and the “Lion Rock”. Visitors can have a great time on an adventure of cave exploration. Portable audio devices are also available to tell you about the cave.
