Ryukawa Cave, one of Japan's three largest limestone caves

About 45 minutes by car from Kochi Station. Kami City is the only city in Kochi Prefecture that does not face the sea, and forests occupy about 90% of the area. Rainwater accumulates in the basin near the summit of the mountain in Kami City, which is rich in greenery, and the limestone solutional cave Ryukawa-dong was created over a long period of 175 million years.

Together with Akiyoshi-do Cave in Yamaguchi Prefecture and Ryusendo Cave in Iwate Prefecture, Ryukawa-do Cave, one of Japan's three largest limestone caves, is 4 km long. It has been designated as a nationally designated natural monument and historical site as a valuable place where you can feel the lives of ancient people, such as excavated earthenware and stoneware from Yayoi period and the discovery of rare caves worldwide.

In the cave, there are various stalactites of different sizes and shapes, as well as the "Jin's Pot" in which Yayoi ware's Pot has been integrated with solutional cave over 2,000 years.

It is also famous as a tourist destination in Kochi Prefecture, and many people visit Ryukawa-dong. Currently, it is divided into three courses: a sightseeing course, an adventure course, and a Nishihondo course, so you can enjoy various ways of enjoying it, but this time we will show you the hardest, most powerful and reputable adventure course You.

Experience the Ryukawa cave adventure course!

Unlike a sightseeing course that you can easily visit at any time, the "Adventure Course", which requires reservations up to the day before, is recommended for those who are curious or who are good at moving. You will apply in advance, and on the day you will be accepted at the ticketing office at the entrance of Ryukawa-dong.

After receiving an explanation from the guide, those who rent connecting and boots will change clothes in the changing room. It is highly likely that it will get dirty, so we recommend renting it. When you are ready to change clothes, turn on the headlights attached to your helmet and leave to an unknown world!

The adventure course is baptized to crawl from the place immediately after starting.

A serious adventure that goes on a roadless path while taking various postures to push through the complexly formed limestone cave.

A full-fledged course that exceeds expectations climbs and descends stalactites, passes through narrow gaps of about 30 cm, and sometimes overcomes stalactites that appear from the top and bottom while kicking the wall with your feet, feeling like the protagonist of the movie You can taste.

It is an area where you can experience the real darkness that you can repeatedly reach movements that are difficult to do in everyday life. If you turn off the lights of the headlights, the ultimate silence and darkness, without light or sound. I feel a little tighter on the way to go after having a mysterious experience.

It is often hard to go and you often lose sight of the surroundings, but there are many search points in the course.
In the photo below, there are some stalactites that look like animals, but do you know which animals are?

It is a bit difficult to understand in the photo, but in fact, there is a stalactite that looks like a tiger, a dragon, and a rhino in it.
And it is also possible to cross the stalactite that looks like a rhino. This is a photo spot.

I use my whole body like bouldering or climbing, and sometimes I am confused by the narrowness of the course, but I twist my body and pass through the gaps.

Follow the anxiety and loss of confidence that sprout during the harsh course with accurate advice and encouragement of a safe guide. Even if your heart is about to break, you can challenge your adventure without giving up until the end. In such a long adventure course, when you can see a dinosaur-like stalactite, you can finally finish! At the end, it is clear with a smile on this stalactite!

After this, we will walk along the road to join the sightseeing course and reach the exit.
The adventure course is never easy, surprised by the sense of adventure beyond imagination. However, a sense of accomplishment that cannot be tasted elsewhere and a sense of unity with participating members can be created, and bonds can be deepened. Participate with family, friends, lovers, and people at work, and enjoy the experience of becoming a truly "ONE TEAM" at the Ryukawa-dong Adventure Course, which reduces the distance between your heart.
