Okinawa World
おきなわワールド
Overview
Theme park featuring Japan's second-longest limestone cave, traditional Ryukyu village and Habu snake museum.
Okinawa World in the island's southern region organizes around three distinct attractions. Gyokusendo Cave is the centerpiece: a limestone cave system formed over 300,000 years, running 5 kilometers total with 850 meters open to the public, including stalactites, stalagmites, an underground river, and a year-round temperature of around 21 degrees. The Kingdom Village recreates a traditional Ryukyu settlement with relocated historic buildings and craftspeople demonstrating weaving, dyeing, pottery, and glassblowing. Daily Eisa folk dance performances run on a covered outdoor stage. The Habu Museum Park covers Okinawa's venomous pit viper through three live demonstrations per day. It is a dense half-day or full-day site that covers Okinawa's geology, culture, and wildlife in one place.
