The cave was much bigger than i expected it to be. There is a museum and older village to explore, you can also see how they make habu sake. Neat place to take the kids, the cave is worth it.

It a fun adventure to go around. It is really beautiful and serene and the cafe food is really fresh. The garden is amazing and so are the juices available. It's a great place to visit overall! A nice way to spend a holiday with family.

The cave was amazing. We also saw a live dragon dance and learned heritage. Definitely a place to visit and see with your family. Get some ice cream while you're there and see some glass blowing. Its a different experience for sure. You'd never think this was dead in the city. Don't forget to have your feet tickled by the fish.

Amazing cave ! Highly recommend! the cave part is big and beautiful with a perfect light set up. Also have an automatic picture spot for you to take inside the cave ( use the qr code tickets you got at the entrance of the cave and you can get your picture on your way out) * make sure you got a good shoes on it’s get slippery at some parts in the caves * They also have snake museum and traditional dresses for you to rent out so you can take pictures at the village part in the park.

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.
