Nature's Artwork - Rokando -

Among the many limestone caves in Japan, Rokando stands out over others because of its mystical dome, one of the largest in Tohoku.
An 880-meter walk through passage, Rokando opens up to greet you with a vast 60 meter high and 50 meter circumference dome that seems out of this world. Adding to the dome's magnificence is "Ama no Iwato no Taki" or " the waterfall of the heavenly cave", also one of the largest in-cave waterfalls in Japan, which spills down 29 meters starting from a crack in the marble and ending with a roaring splash that seems to fill all of your senses with energy.
Enjoy a "mystical world that shines blue" in the heart of the cave.
