Okinawa, Japan-Amazing and magnificent stalactite cave: Yuquan Cave

#naturalscape #100 ways to travel

The well-known tourist attraction in southern Okinawa, #Gyokusen Cave, is located in the #Okinawa World Cultural Kingdom. The park includes Gyokusen Cave, Kingdom Village and the Viper Museum. The most interesting one is undoubtedly the stalactites of Gyokusen Cave, which is the second largest stalactite in Japan. The total length of the cave is about 5 kilometers, but only 900 meters are open to visitors.

The underground cave of Yuquan Cave is very open, full of all kinds of strange stalactites and stalagmites, as well as flowing underground rivers. It is quite magnificent under the light projection, and has also derived various unique names: Cave King, Silver Pillar, Silver Taki Pillars, ground smoke の滝, green spring ⋯, etc.

Because it is a limestone terrain, the cave is humid and hot. Fortunately, there are complete facilities along the way. Just be careful that your feet are slippery. It is an attraction suitable for all ages. It takes about half an hour to walk around, and it is quite worth it.

As for Kingdom Village, it is actually somewhat similar to Ryukyu Village, but the commercial atmosphere is a bit too heavy. You can just browse the souvenir area; the Viper Museum is a small zoo. If you are afraid of reptiles, you can skip it.
