You can see a number of breathtaking views in the video.

Fujido Cave
A limestone cave is a natural cave that is formed over a long period of time by the gradual erosion of limestone rock due to the inflow of underground water.
It's said that the Ueno-village area, where Fujido Cave is located, was once covered with a deep virgin forest.
Villagers in the area discovered the cave about 1,200 years ago, and since then, the cave has been used as a place for Buddhist training.
In the Fujido Cave, the Fujido Yayoi Matsuri (festival) is held every March.
Through the festival, people pray for the safety of the Fuji cave, the largest cave in the Kanto region.
Highlights of Fujido Cave!
You can see the exploration of Fujido Cave at 0:38 in the video.
At the end of a 120-meter underground tunnel, visitors climb up a 40-meter pit staircase to find a spacious limestone cave.
The cave is kept cool throughout the year at a temperature of about 11 degrees Celsius(51.8°F).
In the limestone cave, there are a lot of Instagram worthy spots made by nature such as the "Five Colored Clouds" (0:54), "Yama's Staff of Pilgrimage" (1:25), "Dragon King Falls" (1:44), and "Nyoraido" (2:02) and many more.
There’s a legend about "Yama’s Staff of Pilgrimage" that says if you make a wish and touch it seven times, your wish will come true.
Inside of the cave, there are 45 spots named after Buddhist beliefs.
At 2:17 in the video, you'll see a sparkling tower made of limestone.
This tower, called "Renge-no-To" (Lotus Tower) is the largest stone in the cave.
Next, at 2:34 you can see "Hi-no-Hashira" (The Pillar of Flame), and at 2:49 the sacred spot known as "Gohyaku-Rakan."
It is said that it takes about 100 years for the limestone to grow 1 cm.
Next time you visit Fujido, pay attention to the artistic shape of the cave and try to comprehend the amount of time it took to form.
Summary of Fujido Cave, the Largest Cave in the Kanto Region
