#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 📷. Don’t forget to visit the "Venomous Snake Museum" next door after the show! ! 📍Address: 1336 Tamakimaekawa, Nancheng City, Okinawa Prefecture 🕰️Business hours: 0900-17:30 💰Per capita consumption: (Yuquan Cave + Venomous Snake Museum + Wangguo Village) 1.

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!

#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.

#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.

Gyokusen Cave is an amazing natural wonder located in Okinawa. Walking along the approximately 1-kilometer stalactite cave trail, you will see countless strange stalactites in various shapes, as if you were walking into a natural sculpture gallery. The stalactites in the cave were slowly formed over hundreds of thousands of years. Every drop of condensed water records the traces of time, making people deeply feel the mystery and magnificence of nature. Walking along the trail, the crystal clear underground water flows quietly, and the reflections of stalactites are reflected on the water surface, making people feel relaxed and happy, as if entering a dream world. Gyokusendo is not only an important tourist attraction in Okinawa, but also an unforgettable journey of dialogue with nature. #Yuquan Cave #OkinawaCultureKingdom #South Okinawa Stalactite Cave

Gyokusendo Cave is located within Okinawa World, which is relatively close to Naha on the main island of Okinawa. This huge limestone cave spreads underground in the Okinawa theme park, and is even more spectacular when lit up at night. Unfortunately, on the day I visited, a tsunami warning was issued, so I was not able to enter the cave for a while and stayed above ground during that time, but there is more to it than just the cave; there are also snake shows, crafts, buildings that have been relocated from Okinawa's historical architecture, and restaurants, so you can enjoy yourself for a long time. The admission fee is also cheap for a theme park, so it's worth going! #Spring0yenTrip

💞Reason for recommendation: It is really beautiful, highly recommended! ! ! You don't need a strong body to see the beautiful scenery. After you exit the cave, there are drum shows, a dining area (you must buy a small can of chili powder for tasting, just add a little and it will have a great effect), an ancient house area, and a snake museum (there are little surprises in it, please be careful). It's well worth the money and is definitely worth a visit.
