Geocache Description:

The spirit (cache) is not located in the shrine, but near by (360m). To locate the spirit, you have to search for the clue in the shrine. The Kaku Shrine is right next to the Kugenuma Station on Enoshima Dentetsu.

The clue is the year in which the name of this shrine was
designated. The clue is written on a ceramic plate in the
roofed panel.

To define the coordinates of the true location of the
spirit, use the following math:

A = X + C/1000 – 1.033
B = Y + C/1000 – 1.001

Where, 'C' is the three-digit value of the clue.

X = 19.292 and Y = 28.929 are the latitude and longitude minutes of “The Spirit of Kaku Shrine”, respectively.

A and B are the latitude and longitude minutes of the true location of the Spirit, respectively.

The latitude and longitude degrees remain, of course, as 35 and 139.

The spirit is contained in the 15cm x 15cm Tupperware placed on the ground at the concrete-brick wall. The Tupperware is placed at the rectangular corner. Before opening the Tupperware, please pray, otherwise, the spirit may age you. Make sure muggles don’t catch you playing or praying…they may think you are boketeru (crazy)!

賀来神社の精霊(キャッシュ)は賀来神社の中にはありません。少し離れた場所(360m)に安置されています。神社の精霊を見つけるためには、神社の生立ちを調べる必要があります。ヒントは、賀来神社の名前の由来つまり年号を調べる必要があります。その由来は、屋根のついた展示板に大事そうに張られた陶板に書かれています。

本当の座標を見つける計算式は、英文を見てください。AとBがホントの座標(分)です。XとYは、申請値(分)です。

精霊(キャッシュ)は、15x15cmのタッパーウエアに入っています。ちっとも神秘的ではないですが、発見したらいちおうバチが当たらないようにお祈り(pray)をささげる方が良いかも知れません。変な人が遊んでいる(play)と思われないようにしてください。
