Plan introduction( Pumpkin Cave Exploration )
There are several spots on Miyako Island where you can enjoy the great outdoors, and this Pumpkin Cave is one of them.
The Pumpkin Cave is nicknamed such because of the huge limestone shaped like pumpkins in the cave.
The entrance to the cave, which faces the sea, is only visible at low tide, and is therefore also called the Phantom Cave.
We will take a canoe to the entrance of the cave.
The high transparency of the Miyako Island sea allows you to see underwater coral reefs and tropical fish even from a canoe.
Once inside the Pumpkin Cave, you will be caving deeper into the cave, climbing up the rocks.
At the end of the cave exploration, you can dive from the top of the pumpkin rock into the sea.
If you have come all the way to Miyako Island, why not visit this pumpkin cave, which is also famous as a spiritual place?
