Katsuren-jo is the castle ruins commanding a beautiful
panoramic view on the Katsuren Peninsula of
Okinawa
Make sure you read the history and climb all the way to the top
sometime during your visit. From the highest of the five
enclosures, you’ll see to the north far-off mountains of the
Yambaru area surrounding Kin Bay and the islands dotting the
Pacific Ocean. To the south you’ll see Chinen Peninsula,
Nakagusuku Bay and Nakagusuku-jo, the castle of Gosmaru. This
particular castle was the residence of Amawari, a feudal lord who
resisted to the end the monarch of the Ryukyu Kingdom. The area is
a popular tourist attraction, so be careful for muggles. The small
Tupperware container is placed specifically to prevent easy
discovery by those muggles on holiday and the muggle-workers
repairing the castle and surrounding area. Still, be sneaky. FTF
gets a special un-activated Japan Geocoin. Initial cache contents
include: 10 plastic ninja warriors to guard the cache, a couple of
carabiners, and various USMC uniform insignia. This is our first
hide. Enjoy the view and the history....Flipper
CONGRATS TO "THE PAINTERS" THE FTF !!!
