We arrived in Okinawa World!
First of all, I will move to the ticket office~♪
20 minutes before the start of the exploration
At the ticket office, please accept the ticket office.
Wait at the "meeting place for cave exploration" until the meeting time is.
When it's time, the instructor will pick you up.
After receiving an explanation of the flow, move to the changing place (shower room) together.
There is an arbor in front of the shower room.
There's also a coin locker here.
The luggage after the change will be kept in the coin locker (charged).
Rental items such as clothes and helmets are as shown in the picture.
If you bring only swimwear and rush guards, you're ready!
Shower rooms are separate for men and women.
When changing clothes, rent clothes are also divided into men and women.
Please enter the shower room.
In addition, exploration walks in cold groundwater (about 18 degrees).
Clothes such as cotton-quality T-shirts are water-absorbent.
I recommend a T-shirt made of nylon.
Those who are cold (especially children) recommend wearing a rush guard.
To protect the environment of the cave
Bringing food and drink is also prohibited.
From the perspective of preventing heat stroke, hydration before exploration is also solid!
However, there is no toilet in the cave.
Be careful not to drink too much (laughs).
After changing your clothes, we will keep your luggage in a coin locker.
Prices vary depending on the size.
Please choose the size you need.
—————————–
★For those who wish to take pictures.★
Don't forget to bring your "waterproof camera" and "smartphone with waterproof case"!
However, there is a place where the groundwater depth is 1 meter.
If you drop an object in the water, you may not find it.…..
Please bring your camera and smartphone fall prevention goods.
—————————–
How to use headlights, of course,
There is also a lecture on knowledge about Gyokusendo Cave Speleothem.
Also, listen carefully to the precautions so that there are no accidents.
If you wear clothes like the photo, you're ready!
Don't be sure to wear Lumet during your exploration!
Then go to Gyokusendo Cave!
The cave expedition, GOGOGOGO!
There is the last "toilet time" before entering the cave.
If you are worried and children, you should go!
Groundwater walks inside.
You may want to go to the bathroom because of the cold stimulation.
I'm finally going to Gyokusendo Cave.
Let's do our best!
The entrance is the same as a regular tour course.
Switch to the exploration route on the way.
Exploring clothes may stand out to other customers.…(´∀｀ )
I'm going to enter the unequipped exploration area now.
Let's turn on the headlights!
As shown in the photo, the only light source is headlights.
Check your feet carefully before moving!
Also, if you move hand in hand,
If one person falls, everyone may fall.
Let's do our best on our own!
I walk in the groundwater.
Do you know that you need a swimsuit?
I also have an explanation of knowledge about solutional cave and others.
Let's study while exploring!
There are a lot of Speleothem that you can't usually see~
You can see beautiful Speleothem at a short distance~
The depth of groundwater varies depending on the season and location.
If you pass through a place where the water is deep, you will feel the adventure even more.
Groundwater gradually gets deeper~
"Cold!" I often hear the voice of "Gay!" (laughs).
An extraordinary place, clothes can be dirty, the excitement of exploration,
It is an experience that both adults and children can enjoy!
I'm getting used to the coldness of the water.
Next, enter a place with deep water~
(The boy in the photo is about 120cm.)
Water depth is about 1M and water temperature is about 18 degrees Celsius.
I wonder if I can see the children's smile and convey the fun~
※Depending on the season, there are times when there is little groundwater.
The ceiling will also gradually decrease.….
Children can walk normally, but
Adults may be hard. (Be careful about muscle pain the next day!)
Not only in places with low ceilings, but also in places with low ceilings
Let's try a small place!
The child passed quickly~
※I don't need to go through this narrow place.
I wonder if I'm a little tired~
We'll soon reach the middle rest spot! Good luck
Before going to the rest area
"Group photo" time at the photo spot!
The staff will install lighting in the background.
You can take a beautiful picture!
Please bring your camera and smartphone.
Take a look at this picture.
Can you convey the size of the rest spot?
It is a place where you can feel the wonders of nature.
While taking a break
Turn off the lights and experience the original darkness of the cave.
Also, be quiet and listen to the sound of the cave!
There are also natural chairs made of Speleothem.
Let's sit well!
After a break, we will enter the second half of the exploration!
In the second half, there are many groundwater areas.
There are few places with low ceilings.
I can afford to see the scenery around me.
However, there is also a place full of mud.
Please walk the same street as the instructor.
In some cases, my feet get stuck in mud and my shoes get out.
You can walk normally, but
There are a lot of steps.
Always be careful.
If you're lucky, you may be able to meet the animals.
Do you know where the shrimp are in the picture?
In places with large steps
The staff will support you.
You can explore with peace of mind.
Finally, looking for Okinawa least horseshoe bat toward the exit,
Move it.
Okinawa least horseshoe bat, as small as a ping-pong ball.
It's nocturnal, so you should sleep during the day.
※Animals are creatures, so we can't give you a guarantee that you can see.
I finally arrived at the exit!
I think I've been tired of the 90-minute exploration.
We took a group photo of successful exploration!
I also arranged a prisoner-like style (laughs).
Everyone worked hard!
Your clothes after the exploration are bichobicho, aren't you?
In particular, children are almost wet in the whole body.
The exit of the exploration course is near the shower room.
Let's take a shower so that you don't catch a cold.
There is also hot water! I have a warm shower.
After the shower, each tour will be dissolved.
Don't forget anything!
Thank you very much for your participation! ！
[Remarks]
Before entering the shower room
Don't forget to remove "face towel" and "shampoo & body soap".
(One set per person, please.)
There is a collection place for rental clothes in front of the shower room.
Please classify what you used and place it.
Do not put swimwear etc. brought in (laughs)
We look forward to your participation in the exploration.♪
