Guys, please!
I'll show you today's cave exploration.
The participants are here!

Until yesterday, due to the impact of the typhoon, it was delicate whether it could be held, but it was possible to hold it.
This is the start of the cave exploration of a typhoon.


First of all, the annual class. ( ´∀` )
This is important for exploration, so we will do it well.




After finishing the classroom, we finally move to the cave.


In order to go to the exploration course, go down into the cave from the same entrance as ordinary customers.
There is a map sign of a cave at the entrance, but the orange part is a sightseeing course and the blue part is an unpublished area.
We will explore the unpublished areas of the blue part.


Because of the natural cave that has not been maintained since the start, the feet are also spilled.
I will proceed carefully while checking my feet.




As you go back, you can see a white Speleothem at your feet.
We toured the Speleothem, which was formed in the hollow of the gap between the rocks, and unlike the surrounding rocks, white objects with rounded corners.…

This is a pearl formed in the cave and is called "Cave pearls".



As you go further, you will find a place like a white lump.…
Since the Speleothem explained in classroom lectures is naturally organized, we will reconfirm the precautions while looking at the real thing.


From here, we will go through the water.
When you enter the water due to the temperature difference from the outside, you feel colder than you expected.




As we go further, the depth of water becomes deeper.
Adults and children are immersed in water to the chest regardless of height and go backwards.


If you think you have soaked in water to your chest, this time the ceiling will be low, so you will squat down while proceeding.
The first half of the course goes like this, so it looks like an athletic course.





Depending on the location, you will pass through a tunnel with a ceiling.


After passing through the tunnel, take a break.
While taking a break, you will explain about the limestone cave and experience unique to the cave.




After the break, it will be the second half course.
From here you can see the white Speleothem on the ceiling and walls.



The exploration course can be kept clean because people do not usually enter.








Now, the cave exploration is coming to an end.


When you get up from the water, you will climb up aiming for the ground.
On the way, we pass through the area where Okinawa least horseshoe bat sleeps, so we observe Okinawa least horseshoe bat sleeping and flying around.

I'm back to the ground.
Thank you very much.
The cave exploration will be held until the end of September.
We look forward to your participation.
Today's announcement was Teruya.
