Take in the Vast Karst Plateau with Scattered White Limestone

About this spot

Japan's largest-scale karst plateau designated as a Special National Natural Monument. The landscape of white limestone scattered like a flock of sheep across expansive grassland is exceptionally rare in scale for Japan. From the observation deck you can see the entire plateau, and walking the trails allows close observation of the limestone formations. Combined with the underground world seen in Akiyoshi Cave, you can experience the natural mysteries of both above and below ground.
