Inori Cave is a relatively easy and non-descript bonus dungeon in Shiren 5 which becomes available immediately after beating the main Tower of Fortune dungeon. The most noteworthy thing about this dungeon is that if you reach the bottom with all 7 catstones of different colors, you meet an old man who grants you a wish. You can take items, gitan, and up to 3 allies into this dungeon, and the monsters are not especially tough, all of which make it much easier than the majority of bonus dungeons, and you can keep the items/gitan you have on hand if you win. The dungeon experiences both day and night cycles. The initial goal floor is 42F. After initial victory, the goal floor becomes 99F, but there is still a way to complete the dungeon and get a wish while only needing to dive down to 43F.

Gaining Access

Beat the Tower of Fortune for the first time and look around Inori Village. This dungeon opens up at the back of the Beginner House in Inori Village.

Unique Features

There are no obvious major differences between the Tower of Fortune and this dungeon in terms of gameplay. Perhaps Mixer family monsters are more common and available on earlier floors, making it easier than in some bonus dungeons to synthesize equipment. The tilesets differ. The monsters are probably a bit tougher than those in the Tower of Fortune, but the difference is not so great as to leap out. But generally speaking, Inori Cave and Tower of Fortune seem to have the same item distribution (that is, mostly common stuff, with a big chunk of rare items just not appearing in either dungeon), and the same types of monsters at equivalent depths. New items can appear in Inori Cave.

The two big differences are (1) wishes as a final reward (see Final Reward section below for more info) and (2) Magic Circles. After you beat the dungeon the first time at 42F, and the goal floor now changes to 99F permanently, you can still get subsequent wishes while only needing to dive down to 43F. Every floor from 43F down to 99F has both one regular exit and one Magic Circle. A Magic Circle looks exactly like you'd expect with such a name: an ornate circle that looks like it was drawn with magic white chalk. A Magic Circle works like a staircase except it takes you directly to the end no matter what floor you're on. If you use a Magic Circle, you are teleported directly to the Room of Joy, you can make your wish, and you exit the dungeon with a victory. [CONFIRM] It is unknown if you can get expert badges if you use a Magic Circle. [/CONFIRM]

Final Reward

If you beat the dungeon with all 7 catstones of different colors (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple -- close to ROYGBIV but they chose "purple" for the 7th color rather than "violet"), you reach the Room of Joy and meet a Hermit who calls himself the Happiness Prince. You lose the 7 catstones out of your inventory (you don't have a choice about this) and the Happiness Prince grants you one wish out of a set of wishes. (This information was originally compiled from here and here.)

Note that there are only two known ways to get certain rare items and rare monsters necessary to max out your Item Book and Monster Book. One is via these wishes, the other is by leveraging multiplayer item exchanges. This forum post and this forum post have more information. Players wanting to 100% complete this game may need to defeat this dungeon multiple times and make several different wishes. But at least you don't need to dive all the way down to 99F to get wishes, even after your first victory.

If you reach the bottom without all 7 different catstones, you don't lose any of your catstones, the Happiness Prince gives you a common item (it may always be an Undo Grass, as that's the only one I've ever seen), and you exit the dungeon with a victory.
