Walking into the Gyokusen Cave, it's like opening a portal to the underground world⛩️ The stalactites have stood quietly for tens of millions of years, and every step is like walking into the depths of history. The cool air in the cave, the sound of dripping water, and the light and shadow reflected on the stone wall are like poems written by nature. 📍Okinawa・Gyokusen Cave, a small underground fantasy adventure✨ #Okinawa #OkinawaGyokusen Cave
