An underground limestone landscape
Formed over roughly 300,000 years, the cave extends about 5,000 m, with around 890 m open for sightseeing. Limestone formations and light reflected in water create a landscape quite different from the surface.
Rows of formations and light reflected in water create the cave’s atmosphere. Different rock shapes reveal the variety of natural forms.
Exploring the area
Wide views of the formations can be followed by attention to individual shapes beside the path. Allowing separately for the cave walk helps when combining it with other parts of Okinawa World.
Before visiting
The sightseeing route and special cave-exploration programs have separate arrangements. Official information explains available routes and experiences.
