Inazumi suichu shonyudo is a water cave with many sumps. It was discovered only 30 years ago by cave divers. After two sumps the cave divides into two branches, the left one is dry and developed as a show cave, the right branch is waterfilled with several more sumps. Both branches are about 200m long.
The cave entrance is the spring of a small river, which produces 30,000 to 40,000m³ per day. It is a tributary of the Nakatsu river.
