Hello I'm Ko from Taiwan.
The summer-only cave exploration is at the end.
We have a small number of explorers today.
Let's explore almost chartered
First, let me explain beforehand.



Take a group photo before departure
Move to cool Gyokusendo Cave





The first entrance is usually the same place as the course,
Switching to an exploration route from the middle



The characteristic of Gyokusendo Cave is the large amount of Speleothem
At the location of the photo, there are about 20,000 Speleothems


Well, turn on the headlights,
Enter the undeveloped exploration route


Gyokusendo Cave is rich in groundwater,
The name is marked with the word "fountain".




In the usual place
Review "The Name of Speleothem"
Tip: Crane, Bamboo shoot, Hashira, straw…Etc.



And go to the groundwater area.
If you walk, the water will become muddy,
Beware of your feet





There was a lot of rain this year.
The amount of water is plenty
The place where the water is deep is about 100 cm deep,
The water temperature is cool at 18 degrees





The ceiling is also lower.
The head has a helmet,
Beware of Speleothem on the back


And sometimes they climb rocks.
You might be worried about muscle pain the next day.




There are various forms of Speleothem.
Why would it be like this?
It's interesting.


Because the ceiling is low,
The height of about 90 cm is very difficult for adults




In the middle rest area.
I had a dark experience.
Can you see things in the dark?




We will come to the end of the war.
Enter the groundwater again.






Speleothem in Gyokusendo Cave continues to grow.
However, 1cm growth takes 30 years.



I came to a place where I felt the wonders of nature
Elongated straw Soda straws concentrates a lot,
One side of the ceiling is pure white and beautiful




Here
We introduced "bacon" and "curtains".
Because it is Speleothem made of water flow,
You can't see much in limestone caves with little groundwater


And yet
There is also a Speleothem "micro goul" like a coral reef.
This is also Speleothem made of water flow.




Don't worry,
At the last natural pool
Photo time





In the last groundwater area
Lucky to discover a slightly larger tenaga shrimp


And "Okinawa least horseshoe bat"
There was also "Kuroiwa's ground gecko"
This time, I was really impressed by discovering various animals.


Before the end of the exploration
I took a picture of the safe escape.
Thank you very much for exploring.




How about this underground trip?
So that you can be a good memory
Thank you very much for your participation.
Guide: It was E/Kaneshiro.
