The cache cotainer is at the "Namamugi Case memorial statue," or neighbor to the entrance of the Kirin Beer Yokohama factory.
In 1862, while an English man was riding a horse, he gets into a parade of Shimadu the King of Satsuma (current Kyuushuu) and killed by the Shimadu guardmen; the case is known as "the Namamugi Case."
The memorial monument is build at the place now, just next to the entrance of the Kirin Beer Yokohama factory. Kirin Beer started commercial brewery in 1870 (at the time not here but in Yamate).
The Namamugi case is the good example of misunderstanding of different culture, and the beer brewing is the good example of embracing a different culture. Another famous case is "Idogaya Case," at which the case occurred, another cache GC2V1ZF "Idogaya case ruins" is hidden.
The Kirin Yokohama factory produces the biggest amount of beer among Japan's Kirin beer factories (Japan's all beer factories maybe) on 2009. You can enjoy the visitors' course (free, better to reserve) and also fresh beer there, so better not to visit driving your car.
The cache container is a thin metal can.
---in Japanese---
1862年にここで、薩摩藩島津の行列に闖入した乗馬中の英国人を藩士が斬り殺すという『生麦事件』が起きました。現在はその記念碑が建てられているのは、キリンビール生麦工場の入り口のすぐ横です。
キリンビールは同じころ1870年に日本で最初に、しかも横浜 (ただしこの地ではなく山手) で商業的なビールの醸造を始めました。
異文化理解の難しさを示す事件と、異文化をうまく取り入れ日本に定着させた事例が隣接している、非常に興味深い場所です。
同様の別の事件『井土ヶ谷事件』の跡にも、キャッシュGC2V1ZF『Idogaya case ruins』が置かれています。
キリンビール横浜工場は2009年現在、キリンで (日本で?) 最も醸造量が多い工場だそうです。見学コースがあり (無料・予約したほうがよい)、ビールも楽しむことができるので、訪れるのは自家用車でないほうがよいでしょう。
キャッシュコンテナは薄い金属缶です。
