Geocache Description:

A puzzle cache based on a Tokugawa-period philosopher. The difficulty is 2 for cachers familiar with Japan; otherwise, it is 3.

江戸時代の思想家をテーマにしたパズルキャッシュ。日本の方でしたら難易度は2、そうでなければ3です。

The cache is not at the published coordinates. Instead it is the coordinates to the Hirata Shrine, a small Shinto shrine in Tokyo.

This shrine venerates Hirata Atsutane (1776-1843), a prominent philosopher of the Native Studies school (Kokugaku). His ideas helped shape Japanese nationalism.

Please solve the puzzle. If you are having trouble, show the puzzle to a priest or priestess at the shrine (or any Shinto shrine) and they can probably suggest a hint. You can check your answer at certitudes.org.
