Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 546 reviews
Akiyoshidō cave , a special national treasure, is one of the largest limestone caves in the country. It is filled with geographically precious objects such as gigantic stalagmites, rimstones like terraced rice fields, and many others. The cave started forming a million years ago and you will be fascinated with the visible history of the earth. Enjoy it thoroughly by viewing and photographing. You will walk through the cave comfortably as the temperature stays 17 ℃ throughout a year. You can go directly up to the Akiyoshidai Plateau from the elevator located in the middle of the cave.

this is a place where tourists from outside Japan pay much less entrance fee (700 Yen instead of 1200). Cool! The cave is very big and there area lot of different things to see. Our teenagers were fascinated. Amazing cave. Worth the visit. The interesting spots are illuminated, but it it still kind of dark in there. Wear good shoes, it is slippery. Parking is a bit away from cave entrance (you have to pass the usual shop mile). Takes over an hour for whole visit.

Stumbled upon this place while driving across Okinawa so thought I would stop and take a look. Really beautiful cave with a walkway from one end to the other. Its about a 15 min walk to the cave entrance from the carpark where you get your ticket and the whole walk takes probably about 45mins to 1 hour. I was actually the only visitor although I passed some people arriving as i walked back. Lovely rock formations, stalactites and stalagmites...
