Akiyoshidai Karst Observation Deck

This observation deck offers a whole panoramic view of Japan’s largest karst landscape. A new tourism center, the “Karstar” at Mine Akiyoshidai Geo Park, has opened next to Akiyoshidai Observation Deck. It offers tourist information, provides advisories, and includes a free rest space and café in its role as Geo Park’s visitor center.
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.
Kagekiyodo Thoron Onsen
Kagekiyodo Cave

This cave is said to be where Taira no Kagekiyo (Oba Kagekiyo), commander of the Heike clan, hid when he lost the Battle of Dan-no-ura. The walls and ceiling are as magnificent as works of art, and you can see fossils of fusulinid, coral, and seaweed. In addition to the sightseeing route, there is an adventure route (that takes about one hour) that allows visitors to look for troglofauna and fossils. Kagekiyodo Tron Onsen is also located nearby.
Akiyoshido Cave

100 meters below the surface of Akiyoshidai with its entrance in the southern foothills is Akiyoshido Cave, one of Japan’s greatest limestone caverns. The sightseeing route inside the cave is about 1 km long (of an overall cave length of 8.9 km), and the temperature is a steady 17°C throughout the year—cool in summer, and warm in winter‚ making this a comfortable place to visit for both elderly visitors and children.

Information on Yuda Onsen sightseeing attractions and restaurants is available here. Inside the building are three distinctive foot baths you can soak in while you enjoy food and drink unique to Yamaguchi, such as local sake and uiro, available to order from the café.
