Traveler highlights
Fugaku Wind Cave lies in the Aokigahara forest at the foot of Mount Fuji. Formed by flowing lava, it extends 201 meters and reveals features such as lava shelves and rope-like lava. Even in summer, the interior stays around 3°C, allowing ice formations to remain; the cave was once used as a natural cold store for silkworm eggs and cocoons. The cool air contrasts with the forest above, and visitors can look closely at the forms left by lava and ice. Its gently sloping horizontal passage is relatively easy to walk, including for children. The appeal is more than a cool escape: the cave’s temperature, volcanic formations and sericulture history show how people used a geological space left by Mount Fuji’s eruptions.
