On Sunday, we decided to go to Ryugashidou caves. First, we took a 45 minute bus ride. Then we had a picnic lunch. Then we bought our tickets and went in. Just before the entrance, there was a display about bats. The first thing that we saw was the golden pillar. The cave was amazing! The top curved, bubbled and twisted. There seemed to be endless pockets. Below us was a small stream and recesses where there were stalagmites and stalactites. This went on until we got to two slabs of rock with a small crevice between. We saw lots of flowstone, which is a smooth, rounded rock which grows like a stalagmite except faster. It was covered with a thin layer of water. Halfway through, there was a huge waterfall called the golden waterfall. After that, there were amazing things like the waterfall climb of the jellyfish, world above the clouds, and the phoenix hall. The phoenix hall was amazing. It was a small dead end near the exit. The whole place was filled with amazing stalagmites and stalagmites. The end was connected to a gift shop. We bought some chocolate rocks and left. I hope that we can go back soon.
