This is located on the trails of the beautiful Anmon Falls. The
terrain is easily passable though it may be difficult for small
children. This path is easily maneuverable by adults and older
children.
This is a new cache located near Anmon Falls. This cache is a
magnetic nano located on a small Shinto shrine on an elevated trail
between a couple of the larger falls. It has been placed in such a
fashion that it is in no way disrespectful to this religious site
and I ask that all visitors properly respect the area. Your GPS may
have issues once you enter the canyon as you are following the
trails. Most of the trip we averaged accuracy that fluctuated
greatly between +/-25' to +/-100'. If you have the opportunity to
contact the Anmon Falls campground and reserve a cabin I highly
recommend it. The cabins are beautiful (though traditional Japanese
for the foreigners who visit), the area is beautiful and the falls
are amazing. While you are here you could also visit the cache
"Look for the Monkeys". If you are not staying at the campground I
recommend parking at: N 40 31.313 E 140 10.585 There is additional
parking over the bridge and around the corner at the Anmon Falls
camping area. Be sure to bring a good camera. This area offers some
of the most breath taking photos in Northern Japan. You can easily
hike all the way to the last waterfall and back in under 3.5 hours
and well under 3 just to the cache and back.

Great hike. If you stop for the shrine, be sure to go the rest of the way down the path, or rather up vertically, to the falls. I'm posting as First to Find! Not hard to find the location. In fact, I was on the trail when CATMcommando met me and told me he had placed a cache and gave the coordinates for it. Easily found it.
