Geocache Description:

Near the docks (a wharf, actually, but I had to go for the rhyme) by the Asian Trade Center

When I'm not geocaching, I spend some of my Osaka layover time watching ships loading and unloading at the docks near my hotel. This cache is my attempt to share that experience with you. The site is available 24 hours a day, but if you come at night you should bring a flashlight.

Although there are 4 steps to this multi-cache, the entire trek is on level pavement and takes no more than 15 minutes, including the walk to and from the subway station. You should start from either Nakafuto (P11) on the Nanko Port Town Line or Trade Center-mae (P12) on the OTS New Tram Technoport Line.

The above coordinates will take you to the first step. The cache title is your first hint, which applies equally to all four steps you may discover to find one you will be looking for.

While at the first step, you will have a commanding view of the Sail Training Ship AKOGARE (or at least her berth, she is often at sea). Learn more about her here. To all local cachers, I hope you enjoy sharing my neighborhood as much as I've enjoyed sharing all of yours!

Cache maintenance note: I'm not often in the area nowadays, but Dbosaka has kindly agreed to provide backup maintenance as required.
