The cache is a small plastic container hidden 10 meters north of
the GEONET antenna. The container holds a log and a few cute items!
Please bring your own pen.
GSI(Geographical Survey Institute) has established about 1,200
GPS-based control stations throughout the country. Movement of the
land of Japan is daily monitored by GPS Earth Observation Network
System (GEONET). Observation data thus obtained are made available
for actual survey works and for studies of earthquakes and volcanic
activities. Fujisawa is host to one of these GEONET antennae and we
hid this cache nearby the antenna. There are actually 8 antennae in
the Tokyo/Kanagawa area, as listed below:
- Yokosuka: 035.26709,139.66484
