Geocache Description:

Umi-horatu is a rest area built on Tokyo Bay Aqua Line which connects Kisarazu and Kawasaki. It contains variety of restaurants, shops, and amusement facilities.

This is an ordinary multi cache. Since Umi-hotaru is not so large, you don't have to walk long distances to complete this one.

There were two ways to access Umi-hotaru. Drive a car, or take an Aqua Line Bus. If you decided to take bus, please check the bus schedule, since the bus for Umi-hotaru ends very early. You don't want to stay a night at this standalone island, don't you?
