Final cache located just outside of the Yuko-En on the Elkhorn – the official Kentucky-Japan Friendship Garden in Georgetown, Kentucky. The above coordinates are for the Tokugawa Gates and parking lot at the entrance of the garden. The garden is open from dawn until dusk.

The Yuko-En on the Elkhorn is the official Kentucky-Japan Friendship Garden located in Georgetown, Kentucky. The paths offer visitors a stroll through Kentucky’s landscape. It contains native plants blended with Japanese garden principles. The 5 acre garden also hosts environmental, historical and cultural programs and events. It was created through private and corporate gifts and many volunteers from Kentucky and Georgetown’s sister city – Tahara, Japan. I met one of the volunteers (actually the sculptor from clue F) the day I hid the cache. Please sign in and enjoy the gentle hills and winding paths.
This trek starts out as a tour of the Japanese garden. Your goal is to walk the along the garden paths picking up clues for the final cache. It is a short easy walk. The trailhead for the final cache is within walking distance and is located outside of the garden. The final cache is a plastic ammo box filled with oriental items.
This is a friendship garden, so please remember to take only pictures and leave only footsteps.
