What other travelers are saying about Okinawa World
We spent a few hours here as one of our first stops in Okinawa and had a great time! We didn’t buy the tickets in advance, it was quite easy to buy them at a ticket machine. There’s also a huge parking lot with free parking.
The famous limestone caves offered unique views that we were glad to experience. It is fairly damp in the caves and I often felt drips of water land on my head. Even after seeing the caves there’s a lot more to do. There’s quite a few food options including some really good ice cream. The snake museum is fun to walk around but it was a bit creepy seeing so many snakes and especially the bats. I really liked seeing all the turtles, especially the two giant turtles!
It’s a very cool place. We spend about 3.5 hours here. The caves are really impressive and take about 35 minutes to walk through. There is an interesting snake museum and a theatre with 2 different shows. We watched a Taiko performance and enjoyed it. It was 30 minutes long. There are also some animals but their cages were small and I felt sorry for them and that’s why this is 4 stars. Lots of places to eat. There is a garden of fruit trees and and an old Okinawa style courtyard or traditional houses. The layout is a bit confusing. You don’t know if you’re coming or going. For ¥2000/person I thought it was a great value.
So much to do! We got to walk through the cave which was about a 25 minute walk. We got to some arts and crafts. We got to take some cool pictures with the white snake. We got to see a lot of different animals like the habu snake, turtles, and bats. Should definitely bring more money to buy ice cream, smoothies, snacks or pay for additional experiences inside!
Start off by going through the cave. Then work your way through the various arts, crafts and shops to get to the reptile park next to the entrance. The visit took a few hours and is well worth it.
A complex amusement park with Okinawa culture and specialized regional products. It encompasses with a natural cave, an orchard, a small museum, etc. In weekday, the park was quite slack and undercrowded. It's... not a quite a typical amusement park. It's much closer to the salad of "Experience of Okinawa stuff". The good point of this place is there is a certain guide of getting tour there. The bad point? Bad accessibility via public transportation and too many shops visited during the walkway.
