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 !!!

What an awesome place for a cache! Lots of muggles on the front side of the castle, but kudos to the owner for hiding it in a more discrete location. Even on high muggle days you shouldn't have a problem with this one.Took: Mini Harmonica
Left: Land Between the Lakes TB Spoiler: It's all in the clue, and you'll need to remove dead leaves for the find.

I went to Okinawa Geocaching trip with my wife 12-15,May,09.
It was hard hill climbing for us.
But,We finally found it.
That was my memorial cache (200th fonud).
I'm very happy to found it, at the Katsuren-jo (World Heritage).
