#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The stalactites are only one tenth of a centimeter each year. It is hard to imagine that the masterpieces behind Yuquan Cave took at least 300,000 years to create. Gyokusen Cave is known as the "largest underground art museum in Southeast Asia". It has the largest stalactites in Okinawa and the second largest in Japan. Currently, only one-fifth of the entire stalactite cave has been opened. It is 5 kilometers long and cool inside, making it very comfortable in summer. The spectacular stalactites are mainly composed of calcium carbonate and other minerals. They are formed over time through repeated movements of squeezing, uplifting, erosion, and slowly form stalactites. In this dark place, I listen to the echoes of water drops and human voices, and quietly watch the wonders of nature. Be sure to visit the souvenir shop, there are many rare products.

🗓️Itinerary: First time traveling to Okinawa, even without driving, I was able to visit various spots˘͈ᵕ˘͈ Staying near Kokusai Street was very convenient, and I also tried the famous Warmth Ramen🍜 American Village was a spontaneous stop on the way back from snorkeling, Although I didn't plan much time there, Just walking around and exploring, you can feel the exotic atmosphere, The buildings and decorations are beautiful, and the lively ambiance adds to the charm, Definitely worth a visit! Okinawa World is highly recommended for everyone to visit~ The natural wonders are always unexpectedly magnificent☺️ The glass in the penguin area of the DMM Aquarium is very clean😂 It's great for taking photos of the cute penguins swimming around🐧 Additionally, the tropical area allows you to see animals up close, which is really cool! 💞Reasons for Recommendation: Short flight to Okinawa/Many family-friendly attractions/Well-planned sightseeing buses/Great food

#JanuaryGoodPlaces2025 Yuquan Cave: "Witness a 300,000-year-old geographical miracle carved by nature" Gyokusen Cave is the second largest stalactite in Japan. It is 5 kilometers long, but only 900 meters are open to tourists at this stage. It is very convenient to visit whether you drive or take a car. It is listed as a "tangible cultural property" by Japan. Visiting Okinawa in winter is when the temperature is most suitable. The interior of the cave is decorated with dazzling lights, adding a bit of intoxicating color~! ! 📖Geography class time: Stalactites are a type of dripstone, which refers to calcium carbonate deposits in different forms such as stalactites, stalagmites, and stone columns formed in caves in carbonate rock areas over a long geological history and under specific geological conditions. Stalactites: Coral rocks that grow from the top of a cave "Stalagmites": Coral rocks that grow upward from the ground When stalactites and stalagmites are connected, they become stone pillars. 🪸Must see key points: ～Meotowa Rock～ Just like its name suggests, travelers who visit here may wish to observe carefully. There are two rocks very close to each other, just like a couple in love. Come and find them! ! ～Gun patio～ This domineering yet childish name actually refers to the many slender and sharp stalactites on the ceiling. It is said that there are more than 20,000 of them! ! It's actually quite oppressive after watching it for a long time! ! ~ Bell of the Rising Dragon ~ Actually, I don’t know why it is called this name. I have the impression that it may be because it is a bit short and fat, and its shape is like a bell, so it was given this name! ? Since it is a must-see area, let’s take some photos of it~ ~Fossil Square~ There used to be many deer living in Yuquan Cave, but they became extinct about 15,000 years ago. If you look closely, you can still see many fossils of deer bones! ! Isn't this a very appropriate name? ～Qingquan～ The blue-green LED lights reflected on the lake surface add a touch of mystery and fantasy to the stalactites. It is definitely one of the must-sees! ! ~Curtain of Twisting~ A whole group of stalactites cascade down from the ceiling, just like a waterfall flowing down. It is spectacular, and stalactites are more difficult to form, so you must go there to take pictures. ~ Thousand Monks ~ This is one of the wonders formed by many densely packed small stalactites. After looking at it for a long time, it looks like many small dolls standing there looking at you. The name can be said to be just right~ ✨Must-see performances: ~ So encouraging ~ There are three performances every day, at 10:30, 12:30 and 14:30, each lasting about half an hour. In addition to the Taiko drums, there are many traditional musical instruments and dances that are only used by the local Ryukyu aborigines. You can enjoy them. However, photography and video recording are prohibited during the performance! ! Just let yourself relax and enjoy this unique feast! ! ~Viper Show~ There are three shows every day, at 11:30, 13:30 and 15:30 respectively. The audience will be introduced to knowledge about venomous snakes and will be combined with balloons 🎈 and otters 🦦 to help the audience better understand the habits of venomous snakes. The whole performance can be recorded and photographed 📷.

If you come to Okinawa Island, you must spend a day in Cape Chinen in the south. There are no crowded people here, only a whole piece of green fields and sea. From the top of the mountain, you can see endless green grass. Walking around the wooden bridge, you can see the surging waves and the distance. Xiaoyang has summarized the guide of Cape Chinen for everyone. Please save it. —— Cape Chinen is on the southeast coast of Okinawa, about an hour's drive from Naha. The bus is not very convenient. It is recommended to drive by yourself or take a day trip. There are many small hearts at the end to check in. There is a pavilion on the mountain to enjoy the sea view, and there is also a powered paraglider. The whole cliff standing on the seaside is really beautiful...

⚠️ Entry closes at 16:00, so make sure to manage your time well. Gyokusendo Cave is located within the Kingdom Village, and it's a bit far if you're driving 🚗. The ticket price is less than 500 TWD. It takes about 40 minutes to walk through, stopping and taking photos. There are dedicated paths and some stairs, but due to the geological conditions, the floor inside is quite wet, so watch your step👣. The scenery inside is magnificent, with colors enhanced by lighting, but it's still very beautiful and definitely worth a visit!

#rentacar When you come to Okinawa, which is surrounded by the sea, of course, what you can’t miss is the beautiful coastline! If you drive a one-day trip, you can have a lot of fun. If you don’t drive, you can also take a special route around the island bus or directly sign up for a one-day trip, saving worry and effort❤️ A one-day leisurely coastline itinerary is roughly as follows: drive all the way south from Naha, arrive at Gyokusen Cave, visit the stalactites, and have a lunch at the Cultural Kingdom, then walk along the southern coastline and pass by Cape Chinen Park. Along with many beautiful unnamed scenic spots, you can stop and go. I can still remember the endless feeling. It is definitely worth a visit! #Okinawa rainy day plan #Okinawa’s charming place #Okinawa self-driving tour #coastline #100 ways to travel #Ocean view outside

#100 Ways to Travel I have been to Japan so many times, but I never had any impression of where there were stalactite caves. I didn't expect to see one in Okinawa. Gyokusen Cave is located in the south of Okinawa, in a different direction from the Churaumi Aquarium. It takes an hour and a half to drive from Naha. The entire cave scenic area is not big and can be walked through in half an hour. Although it is much smaller than famous scenic spots overseas, it is very delicate and well maintained overall. The water in the cave is light green, which complements the yellow-white stalactites and is particularly beautiful. You can also watch the Taigu dance in Wangguo Village when you leave the scenic area. There are four regular performances every day, each lasting about twenty minutes. You can enter and watch without tickets. Plus, two to three hours is plenty to visit the stalactite cave, recommended 👍 🎯Okinawa World-Cultural Kingdom・Gyokusen Cave 9:00-17:30 Located in Nanjo City, 30 minutes by car from Naha Airport/Naha City. From Naha Bus Terminal, take Ryukyu Bus No. 54 (Maekawa Route) or No. 83 (Gyokusendo Route) and get off at Gyokusendo-mae. The journey takes 1 hour. #familytravel #wondersofnature #okinawantourism #cooltravelexperience #photographyguide #familytravel

#100 Ways to Travel Okinawa World(おきなわワールド) 🕰️Business hours: 09:00-17:30 📍Address: 202 Maekawa, Tamaki, Nanchang City, Okinawa Prefecture 🗓️Itinerary: The largest stalactite cave in Okinawa and the second largest in Japan - Yuquan Cave is located in southern Okinawa. During a geological survey in the 1960s, the stalactite cave hidden deep underground was accidentally discovered. The huge underground space of more than 5000 meters is filled with giant stalactites. In order to balance the natural landscape protection and tourism development, only 1/5 of the space of Yuquan Cave is currently open for tourists to visit. Until now, the stalactites have continued to grow at a rate of 1 centimeter per year. Transportation strategy: Gyokusen Cave is located in Nanjo City Okinawa World (おきなわワールド). Okinawa World includes Gyokusen Cave, Ryukyu Kingdom Castle Town, Viper Museum, restaurants and breweries. Self-driving is the most convenient transportation method. You can also take a bus. From Naha Airport, take the Ryukyu Bus No. 83 Gyokusen-dong Line. There are fewer daily departures. From Naha Bus Terminal (next to Asahibashi Monorail Station), take Ryukyu Bus No. 54 Maekawa Line or No. 83 Gyokusendong Line to get there. Currently, Okinawa World only has one ticket price, ¥2,000 for those aged 15 and above, and ¥1,000 for ages 4 to 14. It allows you to visit all parks with one ticket, and individual parks are no longer sold separately. The temperature in Yuquan Cave is about 20 degrees all year round, and the air is fresh and natural scenery (the walk takes about 40 minutes, and there is no restroom in the cave). The lights in the stalactite cave are dim, and there are special lighting in some areas. The trails are wet and random. The limestone terrain requires climbing up and down, which is difficult for people with disabilities, and it is even more difficult to walk in a wheelchair. Walking in the stalactite cave, various sizes of stalactites and stalagmites are displayed in front of us. Each pool of water is like a "green spring", which is one of the most beautiful scenes in Yuquan Cave. Although the cave is relatively dark and dark. It's eerie, but you can't resist the curiosity to find out more. You can witness with your own eyes the wonders of 300,000 years of nature's miraculous craftsmanship. The Kingdom Village, which is connected to the Kingdom of Culture at the end, has renovated ancient houses that are over 100 years old. You can participate in various experience activities at your own expense and enjoy a Taiko performance, which is very explosive. The last stop is the Venomous Snake Museum, a world-class venomous snake museum, displays of live snakes and reptiles, performances of venomous snakes and meerkats, etc. The whole tour takes about 3 to 5 hours and is well worth the visit. #familytravel #玉Quandong #Okinawa World Cultural Kingdom #Okinawa World #おきなわワールド # Ryukyu #Southern City #Okinawa

#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.

#OkinawaAttractions In addition to snorkeling activities, Okinawa also has many unique attractions This time I chose the Yuquan Cave attraction. Okinawa Cultural Kingdom is a scenic paradise Its most unique feature is the underground stalactite cave Yuquan Cave The stalactites and pillars in the cave are densely packed, and nature’s miraculous craftsmanship is everywhere. The cave is also very humid, so be careful when walking through the cave to avoid slipping. The strange-shaped rocks in the cave are even more beautiful under the light After exiting Yuquan Cave, there are other attractions worth visiting in the park. I particularly like the Viper Winery and folk dance performances Don’t miss this attraction when taking your children to Okinawa #OkinawaFreeTravel #OkinawaCulturalKingdom #Okinawayuquancave #Parent-Child Good Place #Parent-Child Activities #Japanese Folk Dance

Chinen Cape Park, surrounded by the ocean on three sides in Nanjō City The view from the spacious park is spectacular, and you can see the majestic Pacific Ocean. It is also a recommended spot where you can see the small remote islands of Kudaka Island and Komaka Island up close. The park also has a red-tiled roof gazebo and a promenade, so you can stroll around while feeling the pleasant sea breeze. The photogenic spots, which are set up in several locations, also seem to be popular. There are also tourist attractions such as Sefa Utaki and Nirai Kanai Bridge in the vicinity.

There is a place where you can drink for 500 yen while waiting for the tour. Free drinks, no food. There are no places to eat nearby, so it's best to go after eating. 📍Valley of Gangara Address: 202 Tamagusuku Maekawa, Nanjyo City, Okinawa 901-0616 Business hours: 9:00-16:00 Closed: Wednesday and Thursday #besttrip2023 #Okinawa #Okinawa #Valley of Gangara

Gyokusendo cave is the longest underground cave in Okinawa and portion of it is accessible to the public from the Okinawa World park. The cave features stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over the years from lime deposits. The cave is easy to explore, with man-made paths for visitors and should take no more than an hour. A detailed information on the formation of these unique rocks are provided along the path. The luminance provided by the lights add an interesting colour to the rocks and water. #okinawa #Gyokusendo #Japan

Gyokusen Cave is as its name suggests, with spring water like jade. It is the second largest stalactite cave in Japan and is well worth a visit. It is located in the Okinawa Kingdom in the south of Okinawa. The entrance ticket is 2,000 yen. In addition to visiting Gyokusen Cave, the park also has other experience activities and attractions to visit. It is a high-quality attraction that cannot be missed when visiting Okinawa👍🏻#Okinawa #Gyokusen Cave #Okinawa Kingdom #Okinawaworld

Kudaka Island is a small island, so there are only a few restaurants where you can eat. The largest and most convenient of these is "Oshokudokoro Tokujin" 🙋‍♂️, located next to the boat waiting area. The restaurant has high ceilings and is clean, and you order from a self-service ticket machine. This is a rare restaurant where you can enjoy the island's specialty, Irabu Soup (sea snake 🐍), so if you're interested, please come! I've had Irabu Soup before, so this time I ordered the sea grape bowl set meal (1,300 yen) and the island's tempura (700 yen) 😉 They also cultivate sea grapes on Kudaka Island ✨ The sea grape bowl is topped with a sweet sauce, making it a very Okinawan experience. And the tempura was more plentiful than expected😆 The mozuku tempura and other dishes were filling and satisfying◎ Note that tempura in Okinawa is completely different from the tempura you can taste in Honshu, so be careful🤫 Visit date: September 2023 [Address] 231-1 Chinen Kudaka, Nanjō City, Okinawa Prefecture #OkinawaTourism #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #NanjōCity #KudakaIsland #KudakaIslandGourmet #OkinawaGourmet #LocalGourmet #Tokujin #RemoteIsland #IslandTrip #SeaGrapes #Tempura

Kudaka Island is so peaceful that it doesn't even have a business hotel. There are several accommodations on the island, but the largest and most impressive is the "Kudaka Island Accommodation Exchange Center"😊 Reservations can only be made through the official website. But it's nice that you can complete your reservation online◎ Prices vary depending on the first and second floor, the number of guests, and the off-season and busy seasons, so we recommend checking in advance and making your reservation as early as possible🖐️ This time, it was a weekend in September and the price was 5,100 yen for one person in a room on the second floor. Add to that the 100 yen towel set and 1,000 yen 24-hour bicycle rental, and the total was 6,200 yen! (Payment on site, cash only) ◎Location There is only one village on the island. It is located on the edge of the village (northeast side), but the village is mostly flat and you can reach it from the port in about 15 minutes on foot. After checking out, if the timing is right, the hostel staff will even take you to the port☝️ ◎Facilities Check-in starts at 2pm. This time, I arrived quite early at 10am, but they said my room was ready and I was able to go in🙌 The fridge, sink, toilet, and shower are all shared here. However, it is generally clean, and a kettle and hair dryer are also provided. The hot water shower has set times, so be sure to check in advance🚿 Other facilities include the island's historical museum (free, no photography allowed inside) and a rooftop terrace with a 360-degree view of the island, making it a cheap but well-equipped facility✨ ◎Room It's a Japanese-style room with tatami mats, and the second floor is more spacious. There's no TV, but it has air conditioning and a fan. They said to me, "Please use the air conditioning as much as you like," which is very much appreciated in hot Okinawa🎐 Because it's an island, some insects are unavoidable. Please be careful, especially at night, as insects will come if the room is bright. (There are no curtains, only sliding doors.) ◎Breakfast Previously, breakfast was served in the shared space on the first floor, but now it is only available for overnight stays. Please prepare your own breakfast. The accommodation is somewhat like a training camp. It was a good place to spend the night, feeling like you were back in the old days, and enjoying the atmosphere of a quiet island where day-trippers had left.

This is a spring in Tamagusuku, Nanjō City, Okinawa Prefecture. Kakinohana Hii-ja, which has been selected as one of Japan's 100 famous waters. It's a healing spot filled with greenery and clean water. ☺️💓 It seems to be a playground for children on weekends, but on this day, there were many tourists. I love the mysterious atmosphere and the many butterflies flying around. 🌿 When you think of Okinawa in summer, you think of the sea, but I think cool places like this are also perfect for hot days. ✨ There are several parking spaces nearby. And the slope on the way there is steep, so be sure to wear shoes. #japan #Okinawa #Okinawa #OkinawaTrip #NanjōCity

A must-see for those who have a rental car! I'd like to introduce you to a market on a small southern island called Ojima🐟 Inside this market, there are rows of small shops selling sashimi and other items, and you can choose your favorite sashimi and take it home☺️ There are also tables outside the stores, so you can eat what you buy right there and then😚✨✨ (They also sell canned beer and other things!) The recommended dish is the mozuku kimchi with octopus and cucumber❣️ Mozuku kimchi is unique to Okinawa, isn't it?! The addictive taste will make you want to drink more🍻 They also sell vinegared rice and fish soup, so you can even make your own original seafood bowl🥰 It's a little far from Naha, but if you have the time, please come and visit🌺 📍Okujima Imaiyu Market Address＊19-9 Oku, Tamagusuku, Nanjyo City, Okinawa Prefecture 901-1400 Opening hours＊9am-6pm #domestictravel#okinawa#okinawatrip#okinawacuisine#naha#nahagourmet
