AKIYOSHIDO Cavern, the best place to stay while a typhoon is raging

A typhoon came while a tour in August was going on but fortunately it did not hit the destinations of the tour directly. It was amazing but the tour managed to escape the major impact by the typhoon and even gave us more fun when the AKIYOSHIDO cavern was visited. True, it was rainy and windy when the travelers lead by jasmine (it's me) approached the entrance to the cavern. But just five minutes. I thought we could be the first visitors of the day to the cave at 9:00 am when we reached the ticket gate but six already went into the cave on such a stormy day. But we almost occupied the vast cave, the largest limestone cave in Japan and the third in the world. 

Much more water than usual but no rain in the cave.

The cavern is the one let the water gushing out. A lot more water than any other day I have visited. The area leading to the Kurotani exit after the point where the Golden Pillar flow stone stands was particularly mythic and remarkable. More water and more adventurous yet anyone can go. See the pictures of this area below.
