Geocache Description:


There are too many tourists from around the world at the Senso-ji Temple, which you may find uncomfortable.

At the published coordinates, you will find a small stone bridge over a pond containing koi carp and a small waterfall. There won't be too many tourists, so you can spend a few minutes relaxing.

Built in 1618, this bridge is the oldest stone bridge in Tokyo. Although Wikipedia states that the Tokiwa Bridge in Nihonbashi, built in 1629, is the oldest bridge, this is incorrect. This bridge is actually the oldest. 

The bridge that you are standing on is not the old bridge. The oldest bridge is the smaller blackish bridge right next to the new bridge.

To log this cache as 'found', please attach a photo of yourself (your face, a thumbs-up, etc.) or your personal belongings, such as a GPS or a pen, in front of the pond or the waterfall. You don't have to send me a message or a photo.

数多くの参拝客や観光客で賑わう浅草寺では、人の多さばかりが目につき、落ち着いた雰囲気はなかなか味わえません。

公開座標は、境内の一角にある石橋を指しています。ここからは、鯉が泳ぐ池とその池に注ぐ小滝が見え、少しは落ち着いた雰囲気を味わえるかと思います。

この橋は1618年に建造された都内最古の石橋です(あなたが立ってる橋ではなく、そのすぐ隣にある黒くて小さい橋)。Wikipediaには日本橋にある常盤橋(1629年建造)が都内最古の橋だと書かれていますが、それは誤りでこちらの橋こそが最古の橋です。

Foundログをつけるためには、小さな滝または池の前で撮った、あなた自身(顔、いいねの親指など)か持ち物(GPS、ペンなど)が写ってる写真をログに添付してください。私にメールする必要はありません。
