Kikyaga is the dialect of Okinawa. It becomes "Kinshi-izumi" when Kikyaga is translated into Japanese. The meaning of the name is "Spring of golden aim".
Kikyaga is the well of the designated cultural properties. Kikyaga is being used as an agricultural water in the natural pond. When I dived in the pond, the under water was a complicated cave.
The island is only 93 square kilometers, but there are over 300 dry caves
in the island.
Miyako Island is most islands with the sea cave in Japan. But, the cave investigation of the land wasn't done till now. I got the information service of the Okinawa Prefectural Government, and went to Miyako Island.
The cave name discovered this time is Kikyaga. Kikyaga is the well specified in the cultural properties. It is a very interesting name. Kikyaga is the well of the designated cultural properties. It is the cave of the thin seawater. It is the cave where few entries are easy. It believes that Japanese cave divers increase from this discovery.
