Geocache Description:


Akagi Shrine

Mt. Akagi (Akagiyama) is one of the 100 Famous Japanese Mountains. There are some caldera lakes on the top of the mountain such as Onuma, Kakuman-buchi, and so on. They are surrounded by several peaks. Although there are some trails from the foothills, almost all the people use the Akagi Visitor Center as the base because there are free parking lots and a bus stop. The highest peak is Kurobisan whose altitude is 1,828m. There is a first order triangulation station on Jizodake whose altitude is 1,674m.

By the way, this cache is placed by the Akagi shrine. It looks like a floating shrine on a caldera lake Onuma.

Note:
The signals of my GPSr were unstable when I took the coordinates because of forest.

赤城神社

赤城山は日本百名山のひとつです。山頂付近は中央に火山によるカルデラ湖である大沼等があり、その周辺をいくつかのピークで囲んでいる形になっています。もちろん長い裾野の山麓から登っていくこともできますが、たいていはバス停や駐車場(無料)のある赤城山ビジターセンター周辺をご利用されるのではないでしょうか。最高地点は黒檜山(1,828m)です。一等三角点があるのは地蔵岳(1,674m)で、こちらは一等三角点百名山になっています。

さて、このキャッシュは赤城神社の近くに設置しました。赤城神社はカルデラ湖である大沼に浮かんでいるかのように見えます。

記:
樹林帯なのでGPS信号は不安定です。
