History

Description

Fukuchani is a National Monument with ruined houses which were restored by archaeologists and are now protected by roof. The abandoned settlement used a nearby cave as well for drinking water. Today the Fukuchani Cave is very well developed with a concrete staircase and steel railings, and is used by the visitors for bathing. As there is actually only one chamber or pothole with the cave lake at the bottom, the cave does not require light, the daylight shines into the cave.
