Inner Wood Cave Ice-Lit Observation Society

Inner Wood Cave Ice-Lit Observation Society

Event Overview

Located in the mountains in the southern part of Kuji City, Unemaki-dong is a cave cave with a total length of 6350m. It is home to the endangered proboscis bat, which is designated as a natural monument in Iwate Prefecture. It will be open to the public only twice a year, in February and July, although it is not normally available for internal tours. Especially in February, water droplets from the ceiling freeze and grow, and in large ones it is an opportunity to observe "ice-stalagmites" that can reach as much as 2m. For observation, it is necessary to bring military hands and boots in clothes that can be dirty. * The contents may be changed or canceled depending on the situation. Due to the narrow parking space, it is recommended to use the shuttle bus from Kuji City Hall and from Orahoru.
