Gyokusendo-Okoku-Mura

A membranous day at the caves. Not you get the historical aspect but the cultural. There were many attractions to keep you busy and learn about the Okinawan culture.

The caves were amazing and really cool to be in them. Hearing the water drops hit the ponds in the cave and the cave itself is so massive and beautiful. I really liked seeing it. After going through the caves we watched an eisa performance. I was super amazed at their enthusiasm and energy. They were hopping around with their heavy taiko drums. I have never seem anything like that in Hawaii. After watching the performance we took pictures with the snake, it cost 1000 yen but it was worth it.

That evening we had a great time with all of the students from Hawaii
