Makido Cave

Japan, 719-2721 2276-2 Akauma, Toyonaga, Niimi City, Okayama Prefecture

A 450m-long limestone cave designated as a natural monument by the prefecture. In 1929, the poets Yosano Tekkan and Akiko praised it as a "cave full of wonders," and it came to be called Makido. The silent cave is lit up with colorful LEDs, creating a mystical atmosphere. There are plenty of things to see, such as the Ryugu Bridge over the inner lake at the very back of the cave, and Senmaida, one of Japan's best rimstone fields. The Lover's Fountain in the cave has been selected as a "Sacred Place for Lovers." From Saturday, September 28, 2024 to Sunday, November 24, 2024, the international art festival "Forest Art Festival: Okayama, Land of Sunshine" will be held in the north of Okayama Prefecture, and Makido has been selected as the exhibition venue for art works. Photographer and film director Mika Ninagawa will exhibit her works in Makido.
