Explore the unexplored world of Gyokusendo Cave!<\/h2>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Gyokusendo, located in Okinawa’s Okinawa World, is more than just a tourist attraction; it is an amazing art space created by the earth.<\/p>\n\n

The formation of these limestone caves began about 300,000 years ago, and even today they continue to change their shape little by little.<\/p>\n\n

Of the 5km-long cave, 890m is open to the public, and the route alone is deeply impressive to visitors.<\/p>\n\n

Blue Fountain – a fantastic natural creation<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

One of the highlights of the cave is the Blue Fountain.<\/p>\n\n

This part of the park is where natural underground water gushes out and glows a fantastic blue color when lit up.<\/p>\n\n

Limestone crystals reflected on the surface of the water create a starry sky-like beauty. Visitors are invited to enter a different world.<\/p>\n\n

Spear ceiling – stalactites piercing the heavens<\/h3>\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

The area known as the “spear ceiling” is where countless stalactites grow sharply down from the ceiling.<\/p>\n\n

These were formed by the overlapping of a drop of water and lime over thousands of years.<\/p>\n\n

This spectacular natural artwork offers a glimpse into a mysterious world deep underground.<\/p>\n\n

Exploration Tours – Go Deeper into the Cave World<\/h3>\n\n

Special tours are offered only during the summer months to explore areas beyond the general public area.<\/p>\n\n

On this tour, you will be accompanied by a professional guide who will take you to the depths of the caves that you would not normally be able to see.<\/p>\n\n

In the undisclosed areas, you may see even larger stalactites and rare creatures. Equipped with expedition clothes and helmets, visitors can enjoy a real sense of exploration.<\/p>\n\n

Photo Opportunities<\/h3>\n\n

At Gyokusendo, visitors are encouraged to take pictures with its beautiful scenery as a backdrop. In particular, the contrast of light and shadow in the “Blue Spring” area is extremely beautiful, providing the perfect shot to commemorate your visit.<\/p>\n\n

For visitors, Gyokusendo is not just a tourist attraction, but a place to experience the natural art that the earth has created over a long period of time. The spectacular scenery and mystical atmosphere will leave you with unforgettable memories for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n\n
