Gyokusendo Cave

Gyokusendo Cave - a cave that left me speechless This is my third cave, and its scale is simply astounding. It's just an open area, perfect for a 40-minute walk! Millions of stalactites created over centuries and hundreds of crystal-clear underground lakes create an incredible fairytale. In the summer, there are even tours to closed sections where you can explore the cave far beyond the usual tourist route. Entrance costs 2,000 yen. The temperature inside the cave is about 10 degrees lower than on the surface; it was such a pleasant respite from the heat. #okinawa#travel#okinawatrip#japan#okinawaworld #gyokusendo
