Geocache Description:

This cache is just a little furthur out if walking so many tourists don't come here.

This medieval, brass sepelchure will lead you past the entrance to my favorite shrine Hokokuji with it's giant bamboo forest and zen tea terrace (not to be missed!...it may be the best tea experience you have and it is very simple and comfortable to partake). Just past the Bamboo Shrine, the cache is near yet another important Kamakura treasure but this one is European architecture (open 9-3 in the winter; I didn't know this site was here until seeking a cache spot)! Please enjoy. Also, since they didn't make waterproof caches in medieval times if log gets damp, log-in will be modern-style: online.

ACCESS: by bus, taxi, walking or bike rental from Kamakura Station
