Otaki Shonyudo Cave

Sep

I`ve never really been into caves* but travelling near Gujo recently, my friend wanted to visit Otaki Shonyudo cave, so we went & took a look.

It was very cool inside, so it was a nice relief from the heat outside. However, it was quite long & narrow, & there were a lot of people, walking very slowly, so it took a long time to go through.

I don`t suffer from claustrophobia [heishokyoufushou], but I was kind of glad to get outside again. I`d hate to be in a cave during an earthquake, or heavy rain, or a blackout [teiden], or if my kids needed the toilet...

Fortunately these things didn`t happen!

*that`s a joke - did you get it?

Hope the photo shows - An old photo (about 1974) at Windjana Gorge in the Kimberleys, of Otto "sitting inside the mountain". So much for not being "into caves"!

I've been there about thirty years ago. It's a long time. It was summer when I went there. There was nice place!! It was so cool in summer!! When I went out there, it was really hot and humid. But I didn't worry about your thoughts.
