About the Bats

Bats are the only mammals capable of powered flight. Cave-dwelling species use caves for roosting, wintering and breeding. Bat habitats in Oga, Akita, are protected as a prefectural Natural Monument. Ryugado in Kochi also contains bats, but its national designation recognizes the limestone cave and archaeological remains.
