Your guide will accompany you during this boat-n-bus tour around Okinawa.<br>
<br>
After disembarking from the boat, you will take a bus as your tour begins with a visit to the sacred place of the priestesses of the ancient Ryukyu Kingdom in the town of Nanjo. It is called Seifua Utaki, which is the most sacred place in Okinawa. During the Ryukyu Kingdom era, kings, before ascending the throne, had to make a brief stop at Sonohyan Utaki, which is located close to their headquarters at Shuri Castle. <br>
<br>
You will then visit the World of Okinawa, a traditional crafts park. It is a theme park dedicated to the local culture and lifestyle. The main attractions of the park are the Gyokusendo Cave, the craft village, and the Snake Museum. <br>
<br>
Gyokusendo Cave is the longest cave in Okinawa. The 890-meter cave features spectacular stalactites and stalagmites. You will then relocate to the Gangara Gorge. In the caves of the gorge, an ancient human habitation site 500,000 years ago has been found as proof of human presence back in those distant epochs. The region is also abundant with very diverse flora and fauna with some unique plants and animals living there. After the trip, you will transfer to the port to board a boat that will take you back to your hotel.
Anyone who has ever seen this beauty simply cannot forget it! Locals respectfully call her Hime-Sama or Madam Princess. A castle-fortress is usually associated with men, but not this one.
For its dazzling white color and multi-tiered roofs, reminiscent of the wings of a huge bird, the fortress is also called the Castle of the White Heron.
