"Great experience and interesting to see. I wish i could have gone to the end of the cave, but it was closed due to the roof caving in.
The cave is well lit, but it doesn’t hurt to bring your own light too."

"It is a short walk through the park and into the cave. Walking slowly the cave tour may take 10 minutes. There is a small fee to enter. They have pamphlets in English and Japanese if desired. You can take this tour in regular clothing no special hiking attire needed. If in Komakado it is worth you time. Parking is across the street and about 50 meter down the road. Parking is free. There is a toilet prior to entering the area."

"Quite an adventure to walk into this cave which was bigger than I expected. The cave is easy to walk. Just a bit slippery at places. A torch was provided at the entrance. We visited just before the closing time so we hurried and spent only around 20 minutes in the cave and did not get to go into the side section Worth visiting if you passes by this town. The lady in the ticket office was very friendly and offered to explain to us the driving direction to our next destination."
