Stretching over 800 meters, this cave was created over 250 million years ago. Although normally dark, the caverns are lit up with colorful lights that make for a dream-like view while exploring the maze-like tunnels. Be sure to look out for helictites, a rare type of curved stalactite that can be found here, when you visit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec2\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Local Travel Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re visiting Takayama City during the summer, be sure to visit the caves to cool off! The temperatures in the cave stay around 12\u00b0C year round! There are also 3 main cave sections to explore in the cave, with each section averaging 10-minutes or so. If you need a break, or are traveling with smaller children, you can use the exits after each section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After a day of exploring, relax and enjoy a traditional Japanese \u2018kaiseki\u2019 (course-style) dinner in Takayama City. Take a look at some of these great <a href=\"https:\/\/machiyalocals.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">&nbsp;Takayama restaurant recommendations<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"sec3\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Access to the Hida Great Limestone Cave<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re taking public transportation to the Hida Great Limestone Cave from Takayama, take the bus up to Shounyudo-guchi bus stop.
