Typhoon No. 5 (SONGDA) is passing between Okinawa and Kyushu
Under such weather, Okinawa World Summer Limited "Explore the Cave in the Southern Island"
There were hot and hot explorers today.

Replaced with exploration clothes and helmets are also installed
Thank you very much for taking the precautions seriously.

Introduction of solutional cave "Gyokusendo Cave" to explore now
Explanation of Speleothem . . .

I introduced the creatures that I might meet.
Okinawa least horseshoe bat, Kuroiwa Kuroiwa's ground gecko, a natural monument of the prefecture
I wish I could meet you~

Take a commemorative photo with all your friends before departure

We started to explore caves~

Guys, do you usually exercise?
Let's exercise well.
During the exploration, there is also a middle hip movement or four crawling movement.

Easily explain the route using a cave sign
I'll go through the ground where you are.

Turn on the headlights you are waiting for.

I'll get over the railing immediately and go along the Dekoboko Road.




Thank you for your cooperation in wearing a mask.
It's okay if you're breathing hard.




It is a hot summer of nearly 30 degrees outside, but inside the cave is throughout the year
It's about 21 degrees, so it's very cool.
The air is also circulating with the outside air.



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.
Grow at 3 times faster than the mainland


The water will get a little deeper from here.
Children explorers will also proceed with careful steps

This time, the deputy captain of the child, is he very courageous?
I'm going on without hesitation at all.

Senior Captain Shinken


Water is approaching the head of a child explorer
Water temperature is about 18 degrees


Even the explorer is serious.

It was cold
and
the joy was echoing.





You're smiling under the mask, right?
Or the expression of anguish that withstands cold water



Everyone is soaked ww
The ceiling will be lower.
Let's keep working hard

Children explorers move forward with their bodies.
It would be even more difficult if you were an adult


The child explorer could afford

No, no, no, no, no, no, no.




This position should be tough with one hand of the smartphone


You can also afford this young explorer


It seems that we were just enjoying our guide, too.
Thank you very much


Everyone worked hard at the low ceiling.
Let's take a break here.

Commemorative photo with broken Speleothem

This team also took a commemorative photo

You guys seem to be from China.
I was very surprised because I was very good at Japanese.

Thank you very much.

This is a world of 40 meters underground
I had a dark experience after a break.
I turned off all the lights and experienced the original cave.
The sound of the drop was also mysterious.

Let's take a break into
the second half of the game.

I'll be careful not to hit my head.




The explorers said, “This is getting deeper.”
It was good to talk to each other and have teamwork.

Thank you very much for your smile and peace sign.


Even in this area, there was a sound of gongongon hitting my head ww
Attention overhead
Then pay attention to your feet
If you can, enjoy the scenery around you.


If you pass through here, the ceiling will increase.
Please do your best a little more



Beautiful smile




Countless straws Soda straws where explorers look

Below is a rock with many fine Stalactites . . .

The true nature of this rock is the secret of only the explorers who participated





Well, it's a little more to the exit.

I'm going through the darkness of this narrow rocky place . . .


There are a lot of beautiful and mysterious Speleothem on the left and right



Deputy Captain who cares for his friends

Move quietly


Luckily I met Okinawa least horseshoe bat
I was able to see a lot of flying Okinawa least horseshoe bat

In addition

( ゚Д゚)

I encountered Kuroiwa Kuroiwa's ground gecko with a broken shippo
Natural monuments, very rare creatures
I was lucky to meet you.

If you climb this ladder, the exit is right there.
I saw the light on the earth.

Kuroiwa's ground gecko Kuroiwa again after the explorers climbed the ladder
I shot it again

I think it was better than before.

Take a commemorative photo with all the friends who worked hard together
I couldn't take a good picture because of the humidity. . . sorry
