Geocache Description:

This is a large park with a lot to do. It is called Kenmin no Mori or Prefectural Citizen's Forest. Going North on 58, it's a little past the Miyuki Beach Hotel. Park hours: 9:00AM ~ 6:30PM (April ~ August) 9:00AM ~ 5:30PM (September ~ March) & Closed Mondays. Camping season is April 1 to November 30.

It is in a large forest that is well run by the prefecture. We spent most of our time on the playground. The kids really liked the spin around thing and the trolley ropes. There is also a museum that we did not visit and a lot of well marked hiking paths. After placing the cache, we did walk up a well marked path to the left of the park; it led up to a nice view of the valley out to the ocean (start at N 26 30.218 E 127 54.653 … note, we had already placed the cache before going here). The trails go all through the large park. We will have to come back later to explore the park more … the kids wanted to spend most of their time on the playground equipment. The difficulty is based on the numerous trees making the GPS go in & out. If it is too hard to find, the hint should make it easy. The cache is small, and it is stuffed full to start, so you will have to bring small stuff to switch out. Each family member of Porter6 picked one item from home and one from the 100 yen store. It started with: Cheshire cat figure, leaf-shaped chopstick holder, wooden whistle, 2 shells, hello kitty eraser, 4 dinosaur erasers, 2 colored stick erasers, change pouch, hot wheels car, wrist compass, carabine hook, 2 pokemon cards, and the required note pad.
