Irimizu Cave - Irimizu Cave

This limestone cave lies in the eastern part of Fukushima Prefecture, straddling the Takinemachi and Tokiwamachi districts of Tamura City. It lies beneath the limestone plateau Sendaihira on the western slope of Mt. Otakine. It was discovered between 1927 and 1929 (Showa 2-4) and is designated as a national natural monument. It consists of the first cave (600 meters) and the second cave (300 meters), and it is possible to explore, but the cave is narrow and has a lot of water flow, making it difficult to walk. The temperature inside the cave is 14°C, and the water temperature is 10°C, which remains constant throughout the year. To the southeast of the cave is Abukuma Cave, which was discovered in 1969 (Showa 44). Get off at Sugaya Station on the JR Ban'etsu East Line.
