  • Nanatsugama Limestone Caves
    Travel / Tourism
    Nagasaki Pref. Saikaishi Saikaichounakaurakitagou 2541-1
    These limestone caves approximately 25 minutes by car from JR Huis Ten Bosch Station have been designated a National Natural Monument. Created by an uplift of the seabed about 30 million years ago, their age and composition are quite different from ordinary limestone caves. The caves maintain a comfortable year-round temperature of about 15 degrees Celsius, making them particularly popular in summer. They're illuminated a refreshing blue during certain periods too. You can explore parts of the cave generally not open to the public with a guide if you book in advance. A shop offers numerous original items for sale like Nanatsugama Meisui Ramune soda pop.

This hidden corner of the country is rural Japan at its best, where underground activity is to thank for active volcanoes and bubbling natural hot springs along the Shimabara Peninsula as well as the crystal clear waters of the Goto Islands off the west coast. Less well known than Hiroshima’s Peace Memorial Park, Nagasaki commemorates its own past at the Nagasaki Peace Park, which sits alongside the charming Meganebashi stone bridge and a mix of religious buildings with beautiful architecture, such as the Zen Buddhist Sofukuji Temple, the Confucian Shrine, and the Oura Christian Church.
