Higher terrain rating than its sister caches because you do have to hike in to this particular mountain, whether you know the coordinates or not.
Caches have been placed atop three separate mountains on Oshima Island. I've been to each of the mountains a couple times now and find the views almost unbelievable. Unfortunately, the hazy sea-air keeps the views to a minimal if you don't go on a cloudier day.
I was going to make this a multi-cache, but the space between caches and the difficulty and time invested to getting to each of them made me make each of them their own cache.
The following mountains have caches at/nearby their summits.
Monjuyama - (visit link)
Kanouyama - This one
Shirakiyama - (visit link)
The description for each of these caches (titled by the name of their mountain) is the same. The coordinates of one of the caches is correct. The other two caches will lead you anywhere from 75-200 meters away. The goal is to find the correct cache first. Master cachers may find the caches without the coordinates, but those of us less than that would be better off finding the correct cache first. The cache whose coordinates list the actual cache location contains the correct coordinates for the other two caches.
Good luck hunters!
