amata84 Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Going to be in Tokyo and Kyoto - I want to do some geocaching there. Any suggestions? Quote Link to comment
+TOSY Posted January 23, 2008 Author Share Posted January 23, 2008 (edited) Hi, amata84 In Tokyo (especially if you don't have much time for geocaching), I recommend to visit in Ueno Park. The Japanese geocachers focused on the park. You can visit eight caches (GC12AB5, GC18FXD, GC17YDM, GC17YDP, GCHY63, GC17YCC, GC17YCE, GC17YEE) in short walking .

+UncleJimbo Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 I issued this topic to inform or announce the cache hunt plan in Japan. It helps geocachers live, travel in Japan can find their buddy. I would like to go cache hunting in Japan. However, I do not know when I will visit Japan again, but perhaps in May? I will remember to look at Ueno Park in Tokyo. One of my travel bugs has made it to Japan! Andover Massachusetts Travel Bug I hope that it goes around the world. Quote Link to comment

aneles Posted May 13, 2008 Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Hi Japan Geocachers! I'd like to add Japanese to a cache that I own. When I type in the Japanese on my computer, it looks fine. But when I submit the edited listing, it looks like ?????? Do you know if I have to do something special to get it to work? I'd like to practice my Japanese and make my cache more accessible for those who only speak Japanese. よろしくお願いします。 -selena- update: I think I fixed it! I had to switch the encoding in my "view" option to EUC. Thank you! Edited May 13, 2008 by aneles Quote Link to comment
+TOSY Posted May 13, 2008 Author Share Posted May 13, 2008 (edited) Hi aneles-san, You need to convert the Japanese character using "character reference" for cache detail and log pages. Both pages provide the conversion. HTML encode by WeatherReport or Encode and Transition by smalltalk Additionally you can directly type the Japanese character in the Groundspeak forum and "send message" in Geocaching.com.
