Nanatsugama Limestone Caves

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.
