Geocache Description:

The cache is hidden nearby a natural hot spring bath (Onsen) named "Jinata" Onsen in Shikinejima Island.

Of course, now it's free too.
You will understand when you reach there, because it's very wild and natural. The real ocean is just nearby and the color of the hot water is mysterious yellow.
You need to bring swiming wear to enjoy the bath, but you may need more would be your courage to enjoy the nature!

--------- Japanese --------------
地鉈(じなた)と呼ばれる温泉です。なぜこの名前がついたかは、いってみるとわかります。いろいろな名前が書かれていますが、いたずら書きも200年もたつと歴史ですね。宝は時を知るものに授けられるはずです。難しく考えるよりもまずは温泉につかってください。無料ですが水着は必須です。
