Itinerary

• 03:12pm. Arrived at Okinawa World. Quickly bought my tickets and headed to the cave 
• 03:20pm. Entered the cave. There was only one path to take, so I did. 
• 03:44pm. Exited the cave, and headed out to the bus stop. 

Bought. my tickets. 

Welcome to Okinawa World!

Heading down to the cave. 

Whoa. 

I was in awe. 

If there's an earthquake, will these things fall and pierce me? Like a final destination movie? 

Some part of the path was wet. 

Good spots are well lit and had board explanations. 

Pretty moist. No mold though. Huh. 

Deer bone! Well marked for those who are not that good at recognizing bones. 

Whoa. Can I take a dip? 

Imagine soaking here. 

The golden cup apparently. 

Aaaand we're done!

Okinawa World has other things too. Like pineapple farm. I skipped the rest though.
