Gangarā-no-Tani
Ganggara Valley is a lush natural valley created by the collapse of a limestone cave hundreds of thousands of years ago, located in the southern part of Okinawa Island. It features subtropical forests, massive banyan trees, and the remnants of ancient inhabitants known as "Port of Kawa people," allowing visitors to explore its charm through guided tours. The valley also contains caves where prayers for the birth of life are offered and where archaeological excavations are currently underway, exuding a mystical atmosphere. Additionally, the "Cave Café," which utilizes the limestone cave, provides tour participants with an opportunity to enjoy a moment in nature.
