Fun Excursion! No guide needed! - We really liked not having a guide. It allowed us to go at our own pace. The people at the location we kind and helpful. We really enjoyed our experience.

Unexpectedly good! - Great indoors activity for those days or hours when it rains in Ishigaki.
Cave is quite large, around 700 m which go in a circular way. Illumination is nice, specially the part of the "light city". Conditions are very reasonable.
Couple of things I would consider are, removing the background audio, which takes away part of the experience (although some people would be unhappy without audio, due to the tremendous silence)
Souvenir shop is large with plenty of items for you to purchase. Try the gelato stand at the end of the cave, before the gift shop too!

Very Nice. - The caves are very nice. They are lite well and
the guide was great. The Stalactites hanging from the ceilings of caverns
along with the stalagmites were fantastic.

Beautiful cave created from a coral reef ! - Though I have visited the famous Reed flute cave recently in Guilin, it was wonderful to visit this beautiful cave which is almost bit less than a KM long. The whole cave system is a beautiful experience and is being well maintained, it can be easily walked and kids enjoyed as well. Only issue was being July, it was really humid being in the cave. We enjoyed the blue seal ice cream located right at the exit.

Buy Directly from Ticket Booth - Cave is OK. However ticket booth didn’t recognize ticket from Víator and I had to spend almost 15min waiting for people at ticket booth to contact their manager to clarify what they needed to do
