Geocache Description:

This cache is placed along the Awa Mountain hiking trail loop.  

It is also part of the Dragon Ball series.

Please take note/photo of the inside lid if you want to complete this series.


Ubu is a unknown boy who lives deep in the wilderness. Currently he is living somewhere between Mount Awa and Mount Yae. 

To find this cache you must hike along the wonderful trails that pass up and over Mount Awa.  On the way back down I placed this cache. 

To get to this cache please park at the given waypoint and walk to the trailhead.  PLEASE don't park by the trailhead. The fruit pickers use that spot. The locals want hikers to be considerate and park at the Katsuyama Community Centre see waypoint.    Begin your journey through the orange orchards and then into the primal forest.  At first you will come to a junction.  Turn left here and make your way all the way up to the top of Awa mountain.  Turn right and you'll go up another mountain.  Go straight and you'll go through a deep dark valley and up the back way of Awa Mountain.  Either left or straight will get you to Ubu.  I recommend going left first.  The trail is marked well with colorful tags so you can't go wrong. 

The trail is very rough and may be hazardous for small children so please be aware of this.  The whole trail takes a while so please give yourself plenty of daylight hours,  and plenty of water.   If you love hiking,  this trail is for you!  

For the most part the trail from the top of Mount Awa and down the back way, I couldn't get any signal at all on my GPS.  Only for a few short seconds I got a signal so I decided to place a cache there.  The coords are likely off so please use hints and spoiler to find it. 

Anyway the coords should be near this small tree in the middle of the trail,

Once you see this tree the cache is very near and a couple meters from the trail .   Look up the trail and to the left for a rock with a triangle-shaped hole in it.  See SPOILER for more help.  This rock is where you need to look.

Oh and please feel free to drop some of your own caches but BE WARNED, there are two puzzle caches on the trails so you may have proximity issues. You have been warned.

Good luck and enjoy the hike!
