This is a tropical coral island. I went to the Shoryudo Cave. 
I was one of the last to walk down to the cave, and at the entrance, the sight of the people ahead of me gave me a good impression of the size of the cave - it’s enormous!
It has lots of stalactites and stalagmites, and features that are sacred to the local people.
There’s even a Tori gate in the cave to indicate a significant part of it.
Most of the lights were plain white, but several areas of the cave had been lit in saturated colours that changed as you looked.
Eventually we came out of the cave.
We then visited the town,
where they were having the Okinoerabu Agricultural Festival.
In the afternoon, we visited the limestone coast at the Fucha Blowhole, which reminded me of Christmas Island.
There were several blowholes, but we weren’t there at the right time for them to blow.
We then visited Japan’s most majestic banyan tree at the local school.
As we prepared to leave, the islanders danced for us.
