Geocache Description:


日本の真ん中は、身体の中心である「へそ」に例えて「日本のへそ」と呼ばれています。通常、へそは一カ所にしかありませんが、日本のへそは全国各地に散らばっています。  
*GCB339K:日本のへそ(長野県南牧村)

日本列島の最北端・稚内市と最南端の鹿児島県佐多岬の二点を円で囲んだ中心点と、日本の最東端・南鳥島と最西端の与那国島との中心の経緯が交差する中心地が当地である。このことから地域住民の間でこの地を【日本列島のへそ】と呼び、地域の誇りとして親しんでいる(現地の看板より)
山梨県韮崎市の「日本のへそ」にキャッシュを設置しました。ペンをお持ちください。

********

The center of Japan is called the "Navel of Japan" as it is likened to the "navel" of the body. Usually, there is only one navel, but the navels of Japan are scattered all over the country.                                                             
*GCB339K: Navel of Japan (Minamimaki Village, Nagano Prefecture)
This place is the central point where the center of the circle that encircles the northernmost point of the Japanese archipelago, Wakkanai City, and the southernmost point, Cape Sata, Kagoshima Prefecture, and the center of the easternmost point of Japan, Minamitori Island, and the westernmost point, Yonaguni Island, intersect. For this reason, local residents call this place the "Navel of the Japanese Archipelago" and are familiar with it as a source of pride for the region (from a sign on site)
We have set up a cache in the "Navel of Japan" in Nirasaki City, Yamanashi Prefecture. Please bring a pen.
