Geocache Description:

Enjoy the views from a bridge over another river in Nakatsugawa-juku.
(See "Nakatsugawa-juku #1" for the information about Nakatsugawa-juku, Parking, and Rental Bike.)


< Kuramae Bridge >
The Yotsume River runs in the center of Nakatsugawa-juku. The town looks totally flat, but the small area around Honjin was raised a little so that Honjin was kept safe when the Yotsume River was in flood and the water came into the town. The river is very steep and causes frequent flood, and they actually had a fatal flood in 1932.

Kuramae Bridge is one of the bridges over the Yotsume River. This area is called Kuramae, that literally means "in front of granary," since there used to be a line of rice granaries here.

< The cache >
The cache is hidden somewhere on Kuramae Bridge.
It contains only a log sheet. Bring a pen with you.

ATTENTION: When found the container, PLEASE try to Gently take the container away from Velcro.

中津川宿のもうひとつの川の橋から、町を眺めてみましょう。

<倉前橋>
中津川宿のほぼ中央に、四ツ目川が流れています。ほぼ平に見える中津川宿ですが、実は本陣のあった辺りはほんの少し高くなっており、万が一四ツ目川が決壊しても、本陣は守られるようになっていました。四ツ目川は勾配が大きく洪水の多い川で、昭和7年の氾濫では死者も出る被害が出ています。

倉前橋は、四ツ目川に掛かる橋のひとつです。この辺りはかつて近郷の米蔵が建ち並ぶ町だったことから倉前の名で呼ばれているそうです。

<キャッシュについて>
キャッシュは、倉前橋の上に隠されています。
キャッシュにはログシートしか入っていません。ペンをご持参ください。

お願い: コンテナを見付けたら、ゆっくりと【引き下げる】ようにヴェルクロ(マジックテープ)を引き剥がして、取り外してください。ご面倒をお掛けします m(_ _)m
