Geocache Description:


This is our first Olle Course and will not to disappoint.  Here is some history of this most Awesome Trail: Karatsu has long been an important position of contact joining the mainland people by sea. It is a port town where things and cultural exchanges have taken place lively. And, since 1994 when ”Jeju OLLE” started, it had a sister city relationship with Jeju Islands. Karatsu Course of OLLE coast resembles the original Jeju course where you can see the coast and can touch the old history and culture, mainly Nagoya Castle Ruins and still existed 400 years old road.
In the first part of the course, you will spend time around Nagoya Castle Ruins and its battlements. In 1592, Hideyoshi Toyotomi constructed Nagoya Castle to invade Korea. He amassed the troops of federal lords from all over Japan and stationed them around castle, and this is the exact ruin. Under the blue sky, green lawn is paved that looks peaceful. Through the battlefield, you can find remnants of past which officers of Bunroku and Keicho left behind. Passing on the simple and former old path connecting to the ruins, stop at Tea House ”Kaigetsu” and try a cup of rich taste of green tea. This is such a peaceful spot that it is difficult to imagine that it was first created to use for battle. As you continue a little further along the route from here, you will come to Tenshudai of Nagoya Castle Ruins that could be called the highlight of the course. Panoramic view of Iki, Tsushima, Sea of Genkai, in one sight, blows up your worries from bottom of heart. Now as you leave Nagoya Castle Ruins, you come into a quiet village street. In midway of the town, there is ”Hinatagama”, ”Karatsu Ceramics” ware which is called as ”Japan’s three great tea cup” and Japanese loves it. Upon leaving the town, on the second half of the course, located in northwest Japan, ”Hado Misaki (peninsula) coast OLLE” starts. Here, because of the shapes nature has carved out of the rocks and blue green pine trees of all Kyushu OLLE paths, it is said that this is the almost like the original ”Jeju coast OLLE” course. Since black pine trees lined esplanade are so well maintained, it makes a very safe walk for families with kids. In the second half of the course, the coast of Hadomisaki spreads, which shows in bits between the black pine trees. Unique food such as grilled turban shell and overnight-dried cuttlefish are sold in many small shops standing in Hado Peninsula Parking at the end point, are the delicacies not to be missed.

Bring your walking sticks, poles, water bladders, lunch and anything else you will need on a 11.2 KM hike.  We are amazed by the most interesting interesting individuals that we met.  When we started to take a wrong turn, the locals helped use our without even being asked.  One of the most friendly, uplifting (for the soul) and amazing trails that we have been on.  If you have 4-6 hrs to give to your walking health then this is a trail for you.  We parked one car at the end of the trail and drove to the start.  You can take local transportion from the end to the start if needed.  Look at the website.  

This Cache is a 2X small cache with a penil and log book.  Be the first to get the FTF.  Happy Caching.

これは私たちの最初のオレコースであり、失望することはありません。この最も素晴らしいトレイルの歴史は次のとおりです。唐津は長い間、海で本土の人々とつながる重要な連絡先でした。物事や文化交流が盛んな港町です。 1592年、豊臣秀吉は朝鮮を侵略するために名古屋城を建設しました。彼は日本全国から連邦領主の軍隊を集めて城の周りに配置しました、そしてこれはまさに破滅です。青い空の下、落ち着いた緑の芝生が舗装されています。戦場を抜けると、文禄と圭町の将校たちが残した過去の名残を見つけることができます。廃墟と繋がる昔ながらのシンプルな小道を抜け、茶屋「海月」に立ち寄り、濃厚な抹茶をお試しください。ここはとても静かな場所なので、最初に戦闘用に作られたとは想像しがたいです。ここから少し進むと、コースの見どころと言える名古屋城跡の天州台に到着します。ここでは、九州OLLEのすべての小道の岩や青緑色の松の木から自然が彫られた形をしていることから、オリジナルの「済州海岸OLLE」コースとほぼ同じだと言われています。遊歩道に並ぶ黒松の木は手入れが行き届いているので、お子様連れのご家族にとってはとても安全な散歩になります。コース後半には波戸岬の海岸が広がり、黒松の木々の間に少しずつ見えます。終点の波動半島駐車場にある小さなお店では、タンカイサザエのグリルや一晩干しイカなどの個性的な料理が売られており、見逃せない一品です。

11.2 KMのハイキングでは、杖、ポール、膀胱、昼食など、必要なものをすべて持参してください。私たちは、私たちが出会った最も興味深い興味深い個人に驚いています。私たちが間違った方向に進み始めたとき、地元の人々は尋ねられることさえせずに私たちを使うのを手伝ってくれました。私たちが行ってきた中で最も友好的で、高揚し、(魂のために)そして驚くべき道の1つ。あなたがあなたの歩行の健康に与えるために4-6時間を持っているならば、これはあなたのための道です。トレイルの終わりに1台の車を駐車し、スタート地点まで車で行きました。必要に応じて、最後から最初までローカル輸送を行うことができます。ウェブサイトを見てください。

このキャッシュは、ペニスとログブックを備えた2倍の小さなキャッシュです。 FTFを最初に取得します。ハッピーキャッシング。
