Yasaburodake (name of mountain). Elevation: 1058m

There are two ways to get to this cache: the challenging way (free!) or the easy way (expensive). It's up to you which way you choose. Either way, the panoramic views are breathtaking! I've left plenty of hints. You may use as many or as few as you wish!

Cache is a small, tupperware container with a blue lid. Inside, are a logbook and small Hello Kitty flags. First three to find can take one. Please bring your own pen!

Please be careful on this hike. The cache is in a safe location. There is no need for special equipment and there is no need to put yourself in danger. If you find yourself in an unsafe spot, you are in the wrong place. I've even seen old people hike up here, BUT please remember: there are no safety guardrails or anything to stop you from falling. It's a long, long way down!

If you choose the challenging way, the hike to the top of the ropeway takes about 45min. From there, it's another 15min. The trail from the bottom is well hidden and I would recommend it only to experienced hikers. The beginning of the trail is at: N 35d 45.197' E 138d 33.812'

If you take the easy way, ride the gondola up to the top of the mountain, then follow your GPS to the correct location.

We visited here in three geocachers,Smalltalk-san,seigos-san and me.

Big rocks! and wonderful view!

There were some searching places.
I'm glad to find that it was a little difficult
to look for. (I was not looking at the hint photo when looking for the cache.)

Thank you for the cache.
