Geocache Description:

Two stage multicache in an old stage on the way to Tohoku.

The Shirasawa-juku is the first stage in the Oshu highway maintained in Edo period.
As for the root at the stage, because the head of the village had volunteered for the guide when Ieyasu Tokugawa started to attacked Uesugi before fight of the Sekigahara, the Shirasawa-juku stage was permitted to be composed of the distinguished services.
Quiet and tasteful streets remain in Shirasawa-juku now, because the Oshu highway have moved to the Route4 highway, and the by-pass roard which avoided the stage has been completed.
There is a traditional Japanese Sake brewery in Shirasawa-juku. Please enjoy local Sake flavor!

There were no parking space in Shirasawa-juku.
I recommend you park your car (and seek a cache) in Shirasawa-park before visit there.

The cache is two stage multi.
At the first, look for two numbers. It shows minutes of coordinates for the cache.

-------------- Japanese ----------------
白沢宿は,江戸時代に整備された奥州街道の第一宿です。
宿のルーツは,関川原の戦いの直前の徳川家康の上杉攻めの際、地元の庄屋達がその案内役を買って出たため,その功績により,白沢宿を構成することが許されました。
現在は,奥州街道が国道4号線に移り,宿を避けるバイパスができたことから,白沢宿は,静かな風情ある街並みが残っています。
宿には日本酒の造り酒屋がありますので、地酒もお楽しみください。

白沢宿の中には駐車スペースがありません。
近くの白沢公園に駐車して(そこのキャッシュを探して)から出かけることをお勧めします。

キャッシュは2段階です。
第1段階では、2つの数字が隠してありますので探してください。それらはキャッシュの座標の分を表しています。
