So I am in the final stage of closing on a deal of one of the main entrances to Kazumura. I was going to buy a home in HPP, and just live there, but we are more interested in the possibility of opening up the cave to the public, and getting serious about exploring this cave. I don't want to jinx this deal, so I will stop there.
But I will do my best to document what I find down there. It is mapped mostly from end to end, but there are "countless" side chambers and tubes connecting to this main cave like a river system. The map linked to above is to Kaumana Cave not Kazumura. Kazumura is far far bigger. It will take decades to fully map. I hope one day we can plug these sewage pipes, as they are illegal. They are mostly in HPP, and there are only 2 documented ones spelunkers have found so far. But unfortunately, there is a dump down there, and the exit hole in HPP is mainly blocked, so it will take some work to clean it al out. Or maybe make a museum out of it: One entrance starts at "Progress of Man", the other will end at "Downfall of Man" at the cesspits.
