That created caves. This cave called Fugatsu-Fuketsu consists of a main cave as 110 meters from South to North and sub-internal path as 110meters from East to West. The width of it is 4 ~ 7 meter and the height is 2 ~ 10 meter. Inside the cave, the stiff and fine lavas are accumulated with lots of layers including lava bed.
