Standing in Suzu City, Ishikawa Prefecture, 'Blue Cave' is known as one of Japan's three major power spots. Formed over 5 million years, this cave boasts a grand space with a depth of 100 meters and a height of 20 meters.
According to legend, in 712, a sage named Hodo from India performed rigorous training here to ascend to heaven and gained immense powers. As a result, modern-day visitors come here to wish for various blessings such as matchmaking, financial luck, and academic success.
Inside the cave, it is illuminated with LED lights, creating a magical atmosphere. Although this is an artificial performance, the scenery invites visitors to an extraordinary experience.
On the other hand, the natural light filtering in from the sea gives a divine feel, creating a unique space where artificial and natural lights blend. The cave is cool inside, providing exceptional coolness during the hot summer days.
To reach the cave, you need to descend a steep slope. Of course, the return trip will be uphill, so it might be challenging for those with less physical strength. Proceed with caution.
The entrance fee starts from 1500 yen for adults. The opening hours are from 8:30 to 17:00.
Not only the Blue Cave but also the surrounding scenery is captivating. Along the seaside, the 'Lamp Inn' has been renovated, and its black shiny roof creates an impressive landscape. Additionally, from the 9.5 meters high aerial observatory 'Sky Bird,' you can overlook the magnificent coastline.
The 'Blue Cave' is certainly a power spot with a lot of artificial elements. However, its fantastical ambiance and the natural beauty of the surroundings make it worth visiting. Just be aware that if your expectations are too high, you might be slightly disappointed. Visit with a mind to enjoy the harmony between nature and artifice, and you are sure to have a wonderful memory.
