This is the second in a series of ‘jet lag’ caches – interesting
places I have found on business trips to Japan while walking very
early in the morning. When you arrive in Japan from overseas, your
jet lag (jisai bokke) makes you wake up very early. Plus, if you
are in Japan in the summer time, you will find that sunrise is much
earlier than in other countries because Japan does not use daylight
savings time. So, if you want to explore on foot from your hotel,
morning is a good time.
This one is in Sapporo. It should be within walking distance of
almost any hotel that is in the city. Sapporo has a famous symbol
that would be an obvious choice for a virtual cache, but I thought
that was too simple. But still, Sapporo needed it’s first geocache.
These coordinates will take you to a nice park near that symbol,
and when I was here during Yuki Matsuri (the Snow Festival), there
were many super snow sculptures nearby.
To log this virtual cache, find a tall silvery metal tube
(almost a cylinder) that has two sets of 4 colored lines on it.
Email me and tell me the 4 colors, in order from top to bottom.
(Don't post the colors here!) (This tube is actually part of a
flood monitoring system of the nearby rivers.) I’m also curious to
see if the color of the electronic letters on the tube ever change
– they were green when I was there. And, if you want, post a
picture of the park nearby (please don’t post the object itself) in
the season you were there. It will be fun to see the park in many
different seasons!

No problems with muggles at this kind of cache. I would be expecting a line to mark the current level at any of those colors, not some kanji, would I? Today there was no line, only some kanji right at the top of the display. Greetings from cold Sapporo.

Found this one with Cupcake28. We were attending a conference in Sapporo and decided to get in some caching before heading back to Chiba! TFTC!

Beautiful day to be out geocaching. The local Jazz festival really makes the Odori Park a wonderful place to visit. We'll email the colors to you. TFTC!
