Okinawa Gyokusendo Cave

Gyokusendo Cave is located about a 30-minute drive from Naha city.
Tickets are priced at 2,000 yen for adults, 1,000 yen for children, and free for children under 4 years old.
Before visiting, I had heard that this was a spectacular stalactite cave, and since I had visited a similar cave in Vietnam during my previous trip, I was very excited!
Upon entering the cave, after descending a short staircase, you officially step into the stalactite cave. (There is a photo-taking procedure at the entrance, and you can decide later whether to purchase the photos.)
Once inside, I couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature. Every scene was so breathtaking that I didn't want to blink!
Walking around the cave, stopping to take photos, you can easily spend 1-2 hours here. If you plan to visit, make sure to allocate enough time.
Since I purchased a package ticket directly on Trip (which included Gyokusendo Cave, Kingdom Village, and the Snake Museum), I spent the entire day here. It's worth mentioning that buying tickets on Trip is convenient, and the price is roughly the same as buying a ticket for Gyokusendo Cave alone, with the other two attractions included as a bonus.
Purchasing tickets on Trip is very convenient, especially if you want to plan your itinerary based on weather conditions. You can buy tickets right before departure, and you'll receive a confirmation email immediately after purchase.
Gyokusendo Cave is far more impressive than the stalactite cave I visited in Vietnam and is truly worth a visit. (However, for those who are more sensitive to environmental factors, it's recommended to consider carefully before visiting.)
