What other travelers are saying about Okinawa World
Coming here to visit the cave system is totally worth it! It's so pretty!
Other than the caves, they have other exhibitions of snakes, turtles and such.
You could book or pay extra to do some of the other activities such as weaving, leather working, etc. (You get to bring home the stuff that you made!)
The staff are friendly and they will try their best to converse with you in English if you can't speak Japanese.
The cave was teemed with stalactites and stalagmites which were so close to you that you could literally hug them. But I DIDN’T and no visitor did. You will be in awe and want to do everything to play your part to protect the cave.

It’s wet. It’s dark. It’s slippery. It’s Okinawa World! The promised land of stalactite. It took almost a century to grow an inch. Let that sink in. Although it’s very dark and very wet, one can’t help but fell in awe of the greatest nature. Truth be told. The whole experience was kind of underwhelming. The walk was about thirty minutes. And it got repetitive and predictable very fast. And there is no turning back! Still, you gotta go when fate wills it. And a five star review feels like obligatory. Because!
There are several food stands and a beer place at the end of the trip. Craft beer brewed with coral water!
