What you'll see and do

1. Narusawa Ice Cave

   After meeting your tour conductor, you will travel by bus to Narusawa Ice Cave, formed by past volcanic activity. Inside the cave, the temperature remains around 3°C, even during the summer months. You will walk through narrow passages, stone steps, and naturally formed spaces where ice can sometimes be seen. The cool air provides a refreshing contrast to the outside heat. Due to the terrain, comfortable walking shoes are recommended, and surfaces may be damp and slippery.
