The attendant was not Japanese, I could see that he was doing his best, but there were many times when I could not understand what he was trying to say in Japanese. I felt that since this is Japan, it would have been nice if he could have spoken Japanese that could be understood. The tour itself was very satisfying. However, the 20-minute tour time was quite rushed, so I thought it would be better to reduce 1 or 2 sightseeing spots and extend the tour time a little more. I thought it would be good to reduce 1 or 2 sightseeing spots and extend the tour time a little more.

I was so impressed by the courteous service I received when I went parasailing in the past that I decided to revisit the Blue Cave with a set plan this time. We were very satisfied with the experience this time as well, as we were able to enjoy both the mysterious blue of the cave and the magnificent view from the sky.
