The Gyokusendo cave is one of the biggest Caves in Okinawa at about 3 miles long. The cave's wall are made up of limestone deep under the earth with thousands of fragile stalactites (sharp stone obstacles) hanging from the walls. Just a shout or whistle could cause all the stalactites to come crashing down. The cave is approximately 300,000 years old, so visitors must be careful and can only go about a mile into the cave. The biggest attraction in the cave is the river that runs along the pathway. Colored lights are used to achieve an illuminated effect. There's actually a wide range of interesting displays of pools and waterfalls. The cave's clear water, you can see beautiful coral reefs, endless amounts of tropical fish. Okinawa even offers scuba diving tours in a variety of spots around the area.
