Visiting tips
Mobility conditions differ between cave and other areas
Ask the facility about mobility before visiting with a wheelchair or stroller. Official barrier-free areas exclude the cave, so usable routes differ between it and other areas.
Choose the return bus
Routes 54 Maekawa and 83 Gyokusendo serve Naha Bus Terminal. Choose both journeys so you can board a return after sightseeing.
Eating in the park
Guidance says Nantoya soba restaurant closed until further notice from 13 February 2026. Ask the facility about SANGO’s dated hours if eating there. Check operation before deciding between park lunch and a meal after Naha return.
Allow parking time when driving
Tourism data updated 21 October 2025 lists free parking for 400 vehicles. Checked on 8 October 2026, it does not guarantee spaces that day. Allow walking from parking to the ticket desk.
