Okinawa with good weather today
Okinawa World “2022 Explore the Cave in the Southern Island”
There were hot explorers here today.
Replaced with exploration clothes and helmets are also installed
I'm listening to the precautions seriously.


Introduction of Gyokusendo Cave before departure, introduction of creatures you may meet
I explained the precautions for exploration.


And commemorative photo before departure

I'm going to go! Oh (`-') No

Let's go to the cool cave, with the preparatory exercises well,

This Explore the Cave in the Southern Island is quite serious and hard.
If you tant, at Akan~

The average cave is 21 degrees throughout the year.
So I feel cool when I enter summer, and when I enter winter I feel warm.


The sightseeing cave is finished soon
I'll go through the dekoboko road over the railing.


The unpaved natural cave is scaffolding,
The rocks of Gragra, the muddy water, the depth is unknown
So I go slowly and slowly without panic.



Here we observe the pre-learning Speleothem
Stalactites, straw Soda straws, Stalagmites, etc. . . .

I was surprised at the speed of growth in Speleothem.
Grow at 3 times faster than the mainland
White Speleothem Let's enjoy nature without being polluted

Well, the exploration so far is practice.
Finally, a full-fledged cave exploration has begun.
I'm going to that darkness.

Little explorer, Speleothem on the ceiling seems to be worried



Attention of feet overhead
And if possible, observe the left and right Speleothem.


The ceiling is low, and the cold water will attack from the knee to the chest.
Sometimes I say, "I'm worried because I can't swim, so I'm worried about participating."
It's a big jump.
Even small children can reach their feet.
Wet to the neck of a child explorer
Water temperature is about 18 degrees


Twin explorers, they are pretty strong
Great exploration

Thank you for your cooperation in wearing a mask.
If you have difficulty breathing, you can move it properly.


From all explorers, such as "Tsumetai" and "H"
The scream of joy echoed in the cave www

From now on, we will continue to move the middle backwards and move four crawlings.


This is a child explorer.
Adults think it's pretty hard, it's nice to have a preparatory exercise.





With the sound of hitting the helmet
Laughter echoed in the cave ww


If you pass through this low ceiling area, you will have a break time.
A little more Gamba





Everyone worked hard at the low ceiling.
Let's take a break here.
With a broken Speleothem
And a commemorative photo sitting on a special natural Speleothem sofa

Broken Speleothem, Nito-ryu
Futatsuishi school

This team is also cool.
It's cool

Here, we had a break and experienced the original appearance of the cave.
The dark world of 40 meters underground, nature is amazing.

The sound of drops in the silence was also wonderful.
Let's do our best in the second half of the game.




Where the ceiling is low is the last.
In the future, even adults can stretch their backs and walk where they can walk.
Let's step further and do our best



Straw Soda straws and Stalagmites will be connected in about three years.
Yes, please come to check 3 years later ww



Before the explorer looks at it . . . .

Countless straw Soda straws
Straw Soda straws and others who have grown over 300 years




The exploration is finally final.
If you go down a narrow road to the left and right, the exit is about to come.
Let's explore without worrying until the end



I'll go ahead of you~

A number of Speleothem pools called Rimstone Pools
I'll go over



There was also a mysterious Speleothem.
The explorer who couldn't afford it during the exploration
Take a look at the picture and remember it.


Commemorative photo at the large Speleothem pool


This team has three friends.


The outside is a 30-degree hotspot, a mushi world
Let's keep it cool to your neck

This team is also.

Masculine thumb's up

This bright team is also.

Only the explorer in the middle cold water challenge

This team is with thumbs up and peace sign


The cold water challenge is also nice

Move over the last rocky place to the residence of Okinawa least horseshoe bat
Let's move quietly so as not to wake up Okinawa least horseshoe bat

Luckily I met a lot of Okinawa least horseshoe bat
There were Okinawa least horseshoe bats flying around, and some children resting on the ceiling.


Explorers looking for Okinawa least horseshoe bat

I was very lucky to see Okinawa least horseshoe bat
If you go up the last ladder, it’s the earth.

Kindness to care for the explorer behind


Commemorative photo with all the friends who worked hard last time


I did my best to explore the cave,.....

Let's go out of the door like a prison and take a shower

When you go out to the outside world, the expedition clothes become heavy, including water, fatigue of exploration,
It is over 30 degrees, hot and humid, and also doubles fatigue on the stairs.
The cold water in the cave, and now it feels good.
Expeditioners, thank you for your participation today.
Did you enjoy it?
"It's getting deeper here," he said, "Next time, I'm going to focus on my head."
It was a great team of explorers.
The guide was Horiuchi.
Thank you very much.
