Great place to visit! I can't give enough praise to our fantastic Mother Nature. It is well preserved throughout, including trails, anti-slippery measures, lights, etc.

Wow, what a stunning and enchanting stroll! The cave is just so breathtaking! Gyokusendo cave spans an impressive five kilometers from one end to the other and showcases an array of magnificent rock formations. It has been in existence for about 300,000 years, but it wasn't until 1967 that we humans stumbled upon its beauty. When visitors enter the cave via a lengthy flight of stairs, they descend into a world that maintains a pleasant 21°C temperature all year round - a welcome escape from the heat outside. A sturdy steel walkway extends 890 meters into the cave, meandering through numerous twists, turns, inclines, and even squeezing through some narrow passages. ❤️🩷Make sure you bring a hat since the water will drop down from the ceiling rock, and enough drinking water.

Cave is really big and well prepared for visitors. It has a lot of illuminations inside which improve the experience a lot and provide good scenery for photoshoots.

Amazing cave. It’s humidity and cool underground. Don’t know how to explain the smell but it’s good to visit once when you travel to Okinawa.

Very pretty cave. Walkway can be slippery. There will be waterdrops falling. During my visit it is quite dark. Some spots have lights but most of it are quite dark. Entrance and some places are with stairs ( for those with strollers will be quite hard as most of it have narrow pathways).
