MetroGnome390 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Hello everyone! i am quite new to geocaching and I am already hooked like a fish! I ma going to be going to Japan on vacation with a friend for a couple of days, and I cant seem to find a way to specifically find any caches where I will be staying. I was wondering if there where any cool caches in Tokyo that I can learn about. Thanks much MetroGnome390 Quote Link to comment
Los_Smearmans Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I would try to use Google Earth for the area you will be staying in. That will get you started. Yes, there are numerous locations in Japan to Geocahce. I am in the Tokyo Metro area and won't even come close to finishing all of them within a 20 mile area of my locale. Good luck and let me know if you need anything else. Quote Link to comment

rokclmb Posted May 23, 2007 Share Posted May 23, 2007 Or search on geocaching.com's webpage with google maps. It's kind of a pain to search for caches in other countries because they are only listed by the country. Good luck and have fun. Quote Link to comment
TokyoBlossom Posted May 24, 2007 Share Posted May 24, 2007 Hi! I lived in Tokyo for 3 years. Where abouts will you be staying and/or what areas will you be visiting? There are many geocaches I could recommend, but I would like to know what kinds of geocaches you like and where you prefer to look. Have a great trip, a couple days will not be enough to take everything in, so I would suggest pick areas you want to visit and see what if any geocaches also happen to be there. Quote Link to comment
MetroGnome390 Posted June 13, 2007 Author Share Posted June 13, 2007 sorry to take so long to write back. I've been alittle preoccupied with stuff at the moment. i had some t-shirt designs I had to do, adn I've recently became addicted to Perudo. Anyway, I'll be staying in the heart of Tokyo at a lovely hostel, and I plan to see as much as I can of it within the 4 days I'll be there. I'll also be goin to CLIMB Fuji (by the way,k does anyone know of any good training tips for alltitude sickness?) my friend and I plan to stay at a temple in Koyasan. Im also goi to Kyoto, then to Osaka! so if there are any good caches around these areas, let me know. Thanks again for responding people Quote Link to comment
