Along the way, visitors can see the incense is burned and there are the offerings, marks the worship of the sacred spots. Once you arrive at the ground surface is fairly flat, there are a lot of uniqueness, the uniqueness can be seen.
There are thousands of bottles of Tatsu Awamori (typical Okinawan Sake) measuring 1.8 liters of deliberately stored and cooled in the cool depths of a cave. The visitors pay ¥ 10 thousand per bottle for storing in wooden shelves lining the back of the cave for 5 to 10 years.
