One of the best cave in Okinawa,Japan

One of the largest cave in Okinawa is called Gykusendo Cave. It is also the second largest cave in Japan. It’s formed over 300,000 years and the cave system is over 5,000 m long. Not only that,it contains over one million stalactites . This place is located in okinawa world. I was going there by chartered car as the place is quite far from the city….but all of the expenses are paid after visiting the place . You will take a long staircase down, and the first viewpoint in this limestone cave is a large cavern filled with stalagmites and stalactites. Many of the natural formations look like sculptures, and if you look around closely you might see bats hanging around. You will then continue onto a smaller pathway while looking at this otherworldly You will take a long staircase down, and the first viewpoint in this limestone cave is a large cavern filled with stalagmites and stalactites.

Love pond at the Gyokusendo Cave in Okinawa, Japan There is a very obvious walkway, so you won’t get lost. The walkway is lined by railings, and at the very end of it, you will even use an escalator to go back up. I thought it is a bit of a shame that the path is quite unnatural, it gives a bit less sense of an adventure. But it’s safe, and the light-up they’ve done, although unnatural, gives the cave a fairytale-like feeling. The water is so clear and the shape of the pond with the waterfalls looks man-made, so perfect. One of the cave that you have to visit when you are going to okinawa . #joyexplorestheworld #joytriptookinawa
