Hida Great Limestone Cave & Ohashi Collection Hall Combo Ticket, Gifu Prefecture

An Unforgettable Underground Adventure

Tired of the usual mountains and seas? Try an extraordinary themed journey deep underground.

Divided into three sections, the Hida Great Limestone Cave maintains a cool temperature of around 12°C (54°F) all year, making it the perfect summer retreat to escape the heat.

Let's explore further: discover the cave's natural wine cellar and the 'Bell of Vows,' known as a sacred spot for lovers.

Inside the Cave

First, the Palace of Dreams features countless stalactites hanging like icicles from the cave ceiling – a sight unique to this subterranean wonder.

Next is the Deep Love Spot, a passage illuminated by LEDs, believed to deepen affection for those who traverse it.

Finally, you'll enter the mystical World of the Moon. Exploring all three sections takes approximately 30 minutes!

Natural Wine Cellar

Utilizing the cave's cool, stable temperature, a low-temperature storage area is used to preserve Nihonshu (Japanese sake) and wines.

This aging process results in an exceptionally smooth and refined taste.

With a variety of liquors available for tasting and purchase as gifts, it's a must-visit for any spirits enthusiast.

A Sacred Spot for Lovers

Gifu's Hida Great Limestone Cave is also renowned as a romantic destination, even designated a sacred spot for lovers.

Ring the Bell of Vows with your partner, write wishes on an Ema (prayer tablet), or lock your promises with a padlock!

It's a famous date spot in Japan, making it an essential stop for couples.

Ohashi Collection Hall

This hall showcases the art and accessories collected by the late Mr. Ohashi, the discoverer of the cave.

Admission to the collection hall is included with your cave ticket, so no separate purchase is needed. Simply present your ticket at the entrance to the exhibition hall near the cave entrance.

Among the approximately 1,000 displayed items, the 'Returned Gold Bar' is particularly famous – be sure to see it in person!
