15 Places That Don't Need the Holidays to Twinkle and Sparkle

"Nestled amid the mountains of Koriyama reside a beautiful series of illuminated limestone caverns. Each chamber is filled with an assortment of colors, ranging in different shades of green, blue, and pink. The caverns were discovered in 1969 and were formed over 80 million years by the flow of underground streams. The entire cave complex stretches more than 9,000 feet (2,000 meters). A little more than 2,000 feet (800 meters) of the caves are open to the public to explore. The path within the caves is mostly platformed, making navigation relatively comfortable. On display inside are spacious chambers, enormous stalactites, and three extremely rare rock formations. Visitors to the cave will find an amazing example of boxwork, a geological formation where minerals project from the cave walls. The other two formations are known as the Christmas Tree and The Silver Frost. The Christmas tree is a type of stalagmite, while The Silver Frost is a rocky column created from dripstones.  During the winter months, there is also a small frozen waterfall that can be viewed on route to the mouth of the cave. Just across the car park, one can traverse an intricately designed bridge to visit the Star Village observatory and planetarium." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

i highly recommend this place. we went ther on yearend vacation still not crowded at all. cave history is so amazing. and walking though it was very exciting. there are some path which is bit complex than others and one can choose which path they want to take. we went with very young baby(one is 2years old and another is 7months). it is not imposible to visit here with baby but quite tough on some point. but my older daughter really enjoyed.

Highly recommend the cave walk. May not be too suitable if you do have difficulty in tight spaces and low visibility / slippery floors.

Gorgeous. Amazing place to visit. In the summer, The temperature inside is around 15 C. So it's advisable to bring warm clothes. Some places are slippery. Be ready and beer careful. It's good to go during uncrowded period. Because visitors have to go in queue in this cave. So you can't wait if there are lots of people waiting behind. Several places are very big caves. Maybe bigger than normal 2 story house. You can wait and take some special photos. Outside the are shops to buy souvenirs, drinks or to have meal. Ticket price for adult is around thousand yen as I remember. It's worthy. Good luck

Totally fun place to explore, although it tends to be crowded. The extra cost exploration course is worth it but a word of caution: some spaces are extremely narrow and low. Please take heed of the physical restrictions as well as possible claustrophobia. The normal course is more friendly on a general level.

First time to visit and had a lot of fun there. The limestone caves is cool with the right lightings. There is also a lavender farm that you can pick lavender for 500¥

Abukma Caves in Fukushima is a way to spend a delightful day with family or friends. Going through the natural limestone cavern gives the feeling of being in another time or space or even The Batcave (fortunately no bats were seen). There is even a place to safely leave your pets if they are with you. My only quibble is that during the exploration of the cave is there is a split inside for a normal route and and an adventurous route, which cost an extra 200yen. We took the adventure route which goes low and get narrow in some places. Overall is was a fun and lively experience and seeing the natural rock formations is a sight to behold.
