Geocache Description:

Ushi Ishi means cattle to be stone. This gecaching starts from this mysterious legend about a stone.

Ushi ishi means Cattle to be stone. There is a legend about two cattles. One day, an ox (male) had an important mission to carry a precious symbol of God on his back to his village. But the ox lost attention when he heard a cry of a cow (female) on the way and lost attention so the ox dropped the symbol of the God. When the symbol of the God fallen from the back of the ox, the ox turned to be a big stone.

This is a multi-cache. You must check the direction of the stone ox's head, from three directions.
1. North: N37 56.114 E140 38.432
2. East: N37 56.124 E140 38.442
3. South: N37 56.134 E140 38.452

The final coordinate of the cache is the next to the direction of the ox's head. For example, if it is south, you put "N37 56.134 E140 38.452" in GPS to find the cache.
