Visit tips
Access differs between the cave and other areas
For wheelchair or stroller use, ask the facility about access before visiting. The cave is excluded from its officially listed accessible areas, so available routes differ between the cave and other parts of the park.
Choose both bus directions
You can use route 54 (Maekawa) or 83 (Gyokusendo) from Naha Bus Terminal. Choose the outbound and return services together so you can board a bus back after sightseeing.
Meals in the park
A notice says the Nantoya soba restaurant has been temporarily closed since February 13, 2026. If you want to eat at SANGO, ask the facility about that day's hours. Check restaurant operations before choosing lunch in the park or a meal after returning to Naha.
Allow time after parking
The tourism agency's listing updated October 21, 2025, gives free parking for 400 vehicles. The listing was checked October 8, 2026, and does not guarantee an available space on your visit date. Allow time to walk from the parking area to the ticket counter.
