Gyokusendo Cave - Okinawa World
Gyokusendo cave is the longest underground cave in Okinawa and portion of it is accessible to the public from the Okinawa World park. The cave features stalactites and stalagmites that have formed over the years from lime deposits. The cave is easy to explore, with man-made paths for visitors and should take no more than an hour. A detailed information on the formation of these unique rocks are provided along the path. The luminance provided by the lights add an interesting colour to the rocks and water.

Inside the cultural village of Okinawa World, there is an area where you can appreciate various Okinawan cultures and traditional arts. Here, you can also rent a Japanese kimono to take photos in the cultural world, or pay to try their glass art. It's not easy to craft a delicate glass piece under high temperatures. Additionally, there are some ancient Japanese buildings worth visiting to admire the beauty of Japanese tradition.

Okinawa World: The Mysteries of the Venomous Snake Museum
Inside Okinawa World, the Venomous Snake Museum Park is home to large pythons, cobras, and other venomous snakes. Not only can you observe their movements up close, but there are also snake performances for your enjoyment. Snakes that would normally cause alarm on the streets are seen in a new light at the museum, leading to a greater understanding and appreciation of them. For 100 yen, you can even take a photo with a large python, an opportunity I certainly wouldn't miss.

Okinawa World
#thingstodo Okinawa World stands out as a captivating journey through the island's traditional charm and cultural splendor. This theme park is a celebration of Okinawa's rich heritage, featuring a spectacular limestone cave that offers a refreshing retreat and a glimpse into the island's natural beauty. The stalactites and stalagmites within this extensive cave system are a geological marvel, making it a must-see section of the park.
Beyond its natural wonders, Okinawa World is alive with vibrant cultural experiences. Visitors can immerse themselves in various shows that showcase the island's arts—glass making demonstrations fuse creativity with skill, while the snake show offers a thrill with a glimpse into Okinawan fauna. However, it's the traditional Okinawan dance performances that truly capture the spirit of the island, with their rhythmic movements and colorful attire providing a feast for the senses.
Culinary delights are not forgotten, with three eateries scattered throughout the park. Each spot offers its own unique taste of the island: succulent beef paired with locally brewed beer, a fruit stall boasting fresh picks for a refreshing treat, and a venue dedicated to authentic Okinawan dishes that tantalize the palate with flavors unique to the region.
To fully savor the Okinawa World experience, it's recommended to allocate at least two hours. This allows ample time to explore the cave, enjoy the shows, and indulge in the local cuisine without rush. It's an enchanting slice of Okinawan culture that promises both education and entertainment for visitors of all ages.
In my opinion, Okinawa World serves as a wonderful introduction to the island's culture, providing a blend of education, entertainment, and gastronomy that is hard to find elsewhere. It’s a place where the past and present coalesce, offering a rich experience that leaves a lasting impression on its visitors.

Okinawa's ethnic experience village next to the Kingdom Village is Yuquandong
Kingdom Village. There are many things to experience, but in the hot sun, it is too hot to walk. So I decided to buy Yuquan Cave, which is like a big air conditioner. It is so cool in an instant~~
Yuquan Cave is a stalactite cave. Thousands of stalactites grow up and down. It is quite spectacular. The cave is very wet. Need to be careful. At the foot. But I always feel that there are very few lights in this hole. I don't want to play colorful in the country, and the points of interest are also discounted. But I don't care, I am coming in to enjoy the cool! This green hole is still very beautiful, crystal clear
from Yuquan hole will directly lead to the back door of the kingdom village, so go on the ground again, because it is too far, I did not fully see the drum at 12:30 Its a pity that the show only saw an ending and it was still very shocking. I feel like coming to the Kingdom Village, I can go shopping in the village. If I feel that I can go to Yuquan Cave, I still have to watch it. It is very energetic and very appealing, although I only watched the end.
