Visit of Nara for 4 hours

Cave Okinawa, known locally as "Nuchishinujigama," holds cultural significance as a place of good fortune, earning the reputation of a revered "power spot" . The name derives from two historical events where lives were saved during the Ryukyu period when the prince of Nakijin Castle sought refuge after a battle, and another during the Battle of Okinawa when around 300 residents found sanctuary in the cave without a single life lost. The cave is highlighted by its symbolic and rare "red and white" stalactite, believed to be an auspicious location as it was the birthplace of two children during the battle. Others include the "Golden Rocks," associated with good luck in gold, "Sparkling Rocks," and "Countless Icicle Stone." The cave features the popular "Heart Rock" and has undergone renovations since February 2018, offering a 30-minute immersive experience with renewed lighting and passage facilities, making it an enchanting destination for sightseeing and exploration in Okinawa.
