First, investigate the basic knowledge of Okinoerabujima caving. Okinoerabujima, a remote island in Kagoshima Prefecture and located in the southwestern part of the Amami Islands, is an island made up of coral reefs. It is said that there are about 300 large and small caves and limestone caves under the island, such as "Great Serpent Cave", "Ginsuido", and "Suiren Cave", and it is a spot known to caving lovers as "Sacred Cave" is. The milky white stalactites that have grown over the years and the emerald green cave pool are spectacular views of ants worth a visit.

In addition, the caving course of Okinoerabu is characterized by abundant water compared to other caves, and the caving that you enjoy there is also called "shower caving". The exciting adventure experience of going through the water has captivated many participants, including experienced ones.

Isn't it a spectacular point where you can't help but feel the persuasive power that makes you want to see it live once in a lifetime?
