Fujido Cave in Gunma Japan | Tourist guide

The Fujido Cave is the largest limestone cave in the Kanto region, with a length of 2.2 km. A cave for tourist exploration and, due to its unique characteristics, it was designated as a Natural Monument of Gunma Province.

To enter the cave, it is necessary to go through a tunnel (built) of 120 meters, which ends in a vertical cavity of 40 meters, where a spiral staircase was built, which gives access to the main cave.

The temperature inside the cave is 11 degrees all year round; being cool in summer and considered hot in winter.

1200 years ago, near the mountain Ofukuju, there was a dense forest. In this place, there were several groups of monkeys that stole food and played.

One day, an inhabitant of the village, finding the agitation between them strange, approached and noticed that these monkeys were surrounding a small hole. Thus, the discovery of this stalactite/stalagmite cave took place.
