Fugaku Wind Cave WIND CAVE

You can explore the gentle cave.

This cave is a valuable natural monument with historical value, and is a horizontal cave type cave that is easy for children and the elderly to walk through.

In the days before refrigeration equipment, it was used as a natural refrigerator.

Fugaku Wind Cave is surrounded by the lush greenery of the Aokigahara Jukai forest. Inside, it is cool and refreshing even in summer, with an average temperature of 3 degrees.

Until the early Showa period, this natural refrigerator was used to store silkworm eggs! It is also designated as a national natural monument.

The cave is 201m long and 8.7m high, and strangely, no sound reverberates inside. This is because the basalt of the walls has the property of absorbing sound.

On the 15-minute observation course, you can see icicles that do not melt even in summer, lava shelves, and rope-shaped lava.

The Fugaku Wind Cave Shop has been renovated and reopened.
