The cave is a fit for brave souls, as it is landlocked meaning you can only go out where you went in. In order to enter the cave, visitors need to swim down while holding their breaths for at least 5 seconds. Thus, it is advised that when visiting the Hagukan Cave, tourist guides should be hired since they know the place very well.

Hagukan Cave is also known as the “Luminescent Cave”. This is due to the stalactites or the rock formations within the cave that reflect any sources of light brightly, thus giving that magnificent glow.
