Quick Cache In Osaka

[+Dangermouse 1968]

Next week I have to go Japan (from the UK). After a 13 h flight I have dinner with representatives of the company I'm visiting followed by meetings all the next day. From about 6pm for the rest of the day I have a copule of hours in which to "bag" a quick cache in this country (I'm keen to cahce in as many different countries as possible - so far only UK and Austria). I fly back to the UK first thng next morning!!!

 

It's vital that I locate caches as close as possible to where I'm staying but I'm not having much luck through the website. I'm staying at the Westin hotal in/nr Osaka.....1-1-20 Oyodo Naka Osaka 531-0076 Japan.

 

How do I find the closest caches???

 

Thanks,

 

David

Hello,

 

I received the information fron kussy who lives in Osaka-Pref.

 

There is no real(regular or small or micro) cache near the hotel.

 

Most easy accesible cache is VIRTUAL. Only 300m from your hotel.

Next cache is VIRTUAL also.

To get here, you need to use train.

UMEDA station ----(OSAKA MIDOSUJI Line)---> HONMACHI

HONMACHI ----(OSAKA CHUO Line)---> OSAKA-KO

30 min from UMEDA station to OSAKA-KO.

 

If you keen for finding regular cache. Try caches as follows.

Thanks Matz that's brilliant. I should definatley be able to do the virtual and I'll try to find time to do the regular. There is a travel bug in my cache 1 mile from my house which is on a race to travel as far as possible. I might be abe to help!!!

 

Best wishes,
