Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Okinawa World, Summer limited caving tour "Explore the Cave in the Southern Island"
There were hot and hot explorers today.
You're ready to change into expedition clothes right away.

A little pre-learning before departure
Introduction of Gyokusendo Cave, a limestone cave to explore now
Introduction of creatures you might meet
And I gave you a note.

I wish I could meet Kuroiwatogagemodoki~

Let's Cave Exploration

Final confirmation before entering the cave
Helmet OK workman OK
Is the toilet OK?

When I entered Gyokusendo Cave, I was a little nervous.
The temperature is around 21 degrees throughout the year.

Get over the railing early to the unpaved cave

Let's go slowly and slowly until we get used to it.
Safety First

Observation meeting in front of Speleothem who learned on the ground in advance
Do you remember the name of Speleothem?
Stalactites. 。 。 。 。 。
I was surprised at the speed of growth in Speleothem.
Let's explore while protecting nature

At the end of the observation session, cave exploration will increase in full swing.
Cold water to the chest of a child explorer
The water temperature is about 18 degrees.
It was cold, and
the voice echoed.


The ceiling is still low for a while.
Adults are a little difficult
Children explorers are working hard.



I had a lot of pinballs today because of the bad camera.
I'm sorry to all the explorers who were looking forward to the photos.
I had a lot of pictures.
A little break time around a little past in the middle
Commemorative photo with broken Speleothem

If you have difficulty breathing, you can shift your mask.
Thank you very much for your cooperation.

Here, we had a break and experienced the original appearance of the cave.
It was amazing in the darkness of 40 meters underground.
If we didn’t come, the dark world would be 24 hours a day.
Can you take a break?
Let's do our best in the second half.


I'll be careful not to hit my head.


While proceeding carefully, the camera's perspective


There were a lot of Speleothem.
Did you have time to see?
I’m glad you can remember this blog.

The Speleothem hanging from the ceiling was very beautiful
Straw Soda straws, do you remember?
Straw Soda straws and others who have grown over 300 years


Straw would have come off under Soda straws
There are many rocks in Stalactites

I'll get to the end from here.
Let's go after washing your gloves so as not to pollute the white Speleothem
Go through the darkness through the cave where both sides are narrowed

I'm getting deeper and tell the guy behind me.
I'm a deputy commander, Svalashii

All the members said, "This is getting deeper," and "The rock is going to graze
."
We will work together while calling out.

There was such a Speleothem
What does it look like coral reef

The exit is beyond this darkness.
Let's do our best a little more




Commemorative photo at the large Speleothem pool

This time the camera is bad for Honma.
Excuse me, a lot of pinbokes

A child explorer responds to my request
I was soaked to the cold water neck and responded to the shooting.
Thank you very much

Three parents and children also took a commemorative photo with excitement.


Unfortunately I didn't meet Okinawa least horseshoe bat.
Near the exit of the expedition cave. . . .
I was able to meet the super intense rare
natural monument Kuroiwatogagemodoki

For some reason in a relaxed movement
We were able to observe all the explorers, and even a photo session.

Thank you Mr. Kuroiwatogagemodoki
I wanted to see you.

Commemorative photo with all the friends who worked hard

I can't shoot well

"Photos of the Wind from the Prison" with the help of explorers

“Sorry,” and “I’m sorry.”

Photography and Future Challenges
I'm sorry.
But this time, I was able to meet the extremely rare kuroiwatogagemodoki
I was very lucky
If it is a good memory for everyone, the guide will be very happy.
The explorers
Please enjoy your trip to Okinawa after this.
The guide was Horiuchi.
Thank you very much.
