Look out over the desolate beauty of the limestone landscape from Akiyoshidai Karst Observatory. What began as a coral reef under the sea has morphed over millennia into a landlocked plateau, weathered into strange shapes and replete with sinkholes and caves. Take in 360-degree vistas of the area from the observatory and enjoy light snacks here, along with the opportunity to purchase souvenirs. After admiring the sweeping views, spend some time roaming over the landscape, open for exploration. Use our Mine journey planner to arrange your visit to Akiyoshidai Karst Observatory and other attractions in Mine.

The cave is a great summer day activity—nice and cool inside! Parking for the day was ¥500. Then we drove up to the fields, where there was free parking. Beautiful and fun day trip!

Lovely hills with beautiful wild flowers and grasses. Great walks available and nearby caves, and views of the surrounding mountains in the distance. Definitely worth a look if you are interested in road trips :)
