Hida Great Limestone Cave (Hida Daishonyudo)

It was a nice visit even with the colder temperatures! The trip through the caves took us about half an hour. It's organized really well and the path through the caves was easy to follow. Some restaurants are also outside. If you find yourself in the area I would say it's worth the visit. We went on a weekend around 1530 and it wasn't busy at all.

The scenery is magnificent. Both inside the cave and passage way out. There is a sort of art museum before going into the cave that no pictures are able to be taken but worth checking out. After the cave experience you can buy some trinkets as souvenirs. Very much recommended

Incredible caves! Going through the caves only takes an hour at most. There's a few restaurants just outside the cave complex, and a little museum before the cave entrance that has some cool artifacts. The inside of the caves has a small sake building (for storage) and even a shrine!

This was a good trip for a summer day as it was 13.5 degrees C in the cave. It was a good trip. Not a lot in English, and there was no guide, and google translate didn't work too well underground. Still, it is worth the visit to see something different. We took the bus and bought a return trip ticket, plus the entry all in one. Bus goes from the main bus station, and got off at stop 24. There is a free shuttle bus waiting to take you up the steep hill to the cave entrance. There are food and drinks, but it is limited. Allow for 40 minutes. You can tell the shuttle bus driver when you want to return, in time for the return bus to Takayama bus station.

The Hida Great Limestone Cave is an absolute marvel! The preserved natural formations of stalagmites and stalactites are breathtaking and truly one of a kind. Each step deeper into the cave reveals more stunning wonders, showcasing the beauty of nature. The climb up to level 3 was challenging but added to the adventure—it made the experience feel more immersive and rewarding. The staff were incredibly kind and helpful throughout the visit, and the free transport service from the bus stop to the attraction and back was a thoughtful and convenient touch. After the cave, I enjoyed a delicious meal just outside the attraction. The restaurant with food models displayed in the glass case was a perfect stop, and the woman working there was so kind and welcoming, making the experience even more special. Highly recommend this unforgettable visit!
